A single ticketholder in the UK has put forward a claim for Friday’s £65.3m EuroMillions jackpot, the National Lottery operator says.
It is the second time this year that a UK ticketholder has scooped the top prize, according to Allwyn.
January’s £83.4m EuroMillions jackpot was won by an anonymous UK winner, who ranks 23rd on the lottery’s “most spectacular” wins of all time.
The Valentine’s Day win will now go through the process of validation and if confirmed it will be up to the ticketholder if they go public.
But Allwyn also says other people may be missing out.
Andy Carter, from the National Lottery operator, said: “It’s been an astonishing weekend of millionaire-making… but we are still missing seven from 14 EuroMillions millionaires from Friday night’s special draw.
“We’re asking everyone to check their tickets and we’re very much looking forward to meeting all the lucky winners soon.”

Meanwhile, a perfect match was made in Saturday’s Lotto draw, bagging one ticketholder a jackpot of £7.4m who came forward over the weekend.
Last year four UK players banked EuroMillions jackpots including one payout of £177m at the end of November – the third largest ever won by a British player.
