Three massive jackpots claimed in one amazing winning week
Claims have been received for the three massive jackpots won on EuroMillions and Lotto in the last week. The amazing wins mean there have been a total of nine new millionaires created in the past week alone on National Lottery games.
On Valentine’s Day (14 February 2017) one UK ticket–holder won £19,987,961.20 on EuroMillions and this was quickly followed by another massive UK EuroMillions win in the very next draw – one ticket–holder won £14,509,500 from the draw on 17 February 2017.
The trio of extraordinary wins was completed on Saturday 18 February 2017 when a single ticket–holder won the £15,342,900 Lotto jackpot. All three ticket–holders have now come forward to claim their prizes.
The prizes will be paid out at each of the ticket–holder’s validation appointment. The ticket–holders will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. There will be no further information on whether they are individual or syndicate winners, or where the tickets were purchased unless the specific ticket–holder decides to go public.
After a record 347 millionaires in 2016 it seems this year is determined to push the millionaire–making record even higher. As well as the three jackpot winners on EuroMillions and Lotto, a further six £1M prizes were won last week in the Lotto Millionaire Raffle and EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draws.
Andy Carter, who heads up the team at The National Lottery which pays all of the major prize winners, said, "It’s brilliant that these very lucky ticket–holders have come forward to claim their prizes. These life changing jackpots will enable all three ticket–holders to treat their friends and family as well as allowing them to transform their lifestyle.
