UK ticket buyer claims £110 million jackpot in EuroMillions

The record-holder won £195 million in July, making only 15 UK players the only ones to ever win a jackpot above £100 million.

A UK ticket holder has filed a claim for Friday’s draw’s £110 million EuroMillions jackpot prize.

Only 15 UK players have ever won a jackpot of more than £100m, with the record-holder winning £195m in July.

Other winners of more than £100 million this year included the biggest National Lottery win of £195 million from the EuroMillions draw on 19 July and a £109 million jackpot from the draw on 4 February in which both winners remained anonymous.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “This is absolutely incredible news and we’re delighted that we’ve received a claim.

Gloucestershire couple, Joe and Jess Thwaite celebrated a £184 million win from the draw on 10 May, exactly a month before a UK ticket-holder, who also chose to remain anonymous, scooped £54 million in the draw on 10 June.

The Thwaites said they are “not materialistic” and were not planning to spend too much of their winnings on items – may be a “new car or something like that”.

Instead, they said they want to spend the money on experiences.

They revealed they had to buy suitcases to get to the news conferences as they “never go on holiday”.

Their children have been excited at the prospect of a holiday, they say, and their youngest has “always wanted to go to Hawaii”.

“I think YouTube’s to blame for that,” Mr Thwaite said.

Meanwhile, Frances Connolly, who won £115m in the 2019 EuroMillions, and says she is ‘addicted to helping’ said she has given away more than half of her £115m lottery winnings and busted her budget for the next decade.
