UK Lottery Winner Claims £177 Million EuroMillions Jackpot

The third-largest jackpot in British lottery history was claimed after initial confusion over winning numbers.

A £177 million EuroMillions jackpot, the third-largest in UK lottery history, has been won by a single ticket holder.
The winner came forward two days after the draw, according to National Lottery operator Allwyn.
Initial confusion arose when an extra digit was mistakenly included in the published winning numbers, prompting a nationwide recheck of tickets.
The jackpot makes the winner wealthier than celebrities like Harry Styles and Anthony Joshua, each estimated to have a net worth of £175 million.
This follows other record-breaking UK lottery wins, including a £195 million jackpot claimed anonymously in July 2022.
