National Lottery has confirmed a claim has been received on the £83,474,081.80 jackpot prize.

The EuroMillions draw, which took place on January 24, had gone unclaimed for almost a fortnight.

Operator Allwyn said the lucky ticket-holder, who was in possession of their ticket for 13 days before registering their claim, placed them at number 23 on the National Lottery’s "most spectacular" wins of all time.

The winning ticket, purchased in a shop, matched all five main numbers: 02, 11, 19, 30, 49 and Lucky Star numbers 03 and 08.

A winner has come forward for the prize

An Allwyn spokesman confirmed someone had come forward to claim the prize

The lottery operator had previously emphasised how unusual it is for such a substantial prize to remain unclaimed for this length of time, noting it is the "biggest prize to have gone unclaimed at this stage."
