The numbers drawn were 4, 9, 23, 35 and 37, with Lucky Stars 4 and 8. More than 1.7 million prizes were paid out across Europe, ranging from a few euros or pounds to tens or hundreds of thousands, and then the jackpot. Find out all the Draw Details from 26th July, including the associated results from the supplementary games played in all nine participating countries.
The sole winner came from the UK, and National Lottery operator Allwyn confirmed before the end of the weekend that a claim had already been submitted for the prize.
Andy Carter, the National Lottery’s Senior Winners’ Advisor, said: “This is absolutely incredible news and we’re delighted that we’ve received a claim.
“This is the second huge UK EuroMillions jackpot win this month. Our focus is now on supporting this latest lucky ticket-holder through the winning process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing win.”
The prize claim will next be validated, before it is paid out by the National Lottery. The lucky winner must also decide whether to stay anonymous or go public with their win. If they wish to keep their identity hidden, no more information will be released about the ticket holder or even where the winning entry was purchased.
The last jackpot won in the UK came just a few weeks ago on 5th July, when someone pocketed £33 million (€39 million). Just like the latest winner, they also came forward to stake a claim within 48 hours of matching all the numbers. No further details have since been disclosed.
France and the UK remain neck and neck at the top of the table of most successful EuroMillions countries, having both had 129 jackpot winners. Check out the Winner Statistics page to see more data about all the jackpots and prizes to have been paid out since the lottery was launched in 2004.
