Two National Lottery winners claim massive £6m jackpot EACH as UK ticket-holders come forward | The Sun

TWO lucky Brits have claimed £6.3million EACH in lotto prize money after scooping the jackpot on Wednesday night’s draw.

The two ticket-holders will share the £12,620,658 jackpot prize on offer.

These claims will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the Games Rules Terms and Conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected. 

Once the tickets have been validated and paid, the ticket-holders will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. 

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “It’s fantastic news that both these multi-million pound Lotto jackpot prizes have now been claimed. 

“Two ticket-holders are now an incredible £6.3M better off – imagine the possibilities. Whether it’s a dream pad, a once-in-a-lifetime holiday or treating their nearest and dearest, these ticket-holders are now in truly life-changing positions.

“Our focus is now on supporting both jackpot-winning ticket-holders through the process and helping them start to enjoy their truly life-changing wins.”

It comes after it was announced a lucky Brit had scooped a huge £55m jackpot on the EuroMillions game earlier this week.

The Brit will be wealthier than footballer Harry Kane who is worth £51m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

The winning numbers in that draw were 11, 17, 28, 32 and 35 with Lucky Stars 05, 06.

Another Brit won a whopping £46.2m share in May.

A ticket from France and a ticket from Switzerland also matched the winning numbers to each take a third of the £138m prize.

And in June, a lucky UK ticket-holder scooped a EuroMillions jackpot of £111.7m.

Some winners have done some wacky things with their windfalls.

Gareth Bull, who won £41m in 2012, asked his friends to help him build a manor house with a pool, bar and games room.

The builder bulldozed his bungalow to make room for the luxury property.

He posted on Facebook at the time: “Bungalow down, garage roof on — and can just about see the pub.”

Others use the cash to pay off debts.

Elizabeth and George Galloway picked up £300,000 after buying a Bingo Bonus Scratchcard.

They plan to pay off their mortgage – 15 years early.

Sue Davies scooped an incredible £500,000 after she purchased a lottery ticket to mark an end to shielding during the pandemic.
