A MYSTERY winner has claimed an incredible £1,000,000 winning EuroMillions ticket.
The National Lottery was on the hunt for the mystery winner of a ticket that was bought somewhere in North Lanarkshire on October 31, 2023.
Now the operator has confirmed that they have received a claim and that they will now carry out checks to confirm that the claim is valid.
Subject to validation, the prize will then be paid at an appointment with a winner’s adviser.
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the winner will then decide whether or not to go public and reveal their win to the world.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “We are absolutely delighted that this lucky ticket-holder has come forward and claimed their prize, what a way to start 2024 - just imagine the possibilities for them this year!
“It’s now our job to support the ticket-holder through the process - we support each and every National Lottery winner in the same way - and we will do this as quickly as possible to ensure they can very soon begin to enjoy their life-changing win.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
