The lucky winner will be announced once their ticket has been verified

The jackpot went to a lucky ticket holder in South Ayrshire

A South Ayrshire lottery player has scooped the grand prize of £57,869,670 in the Euromillions jackpot.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “It is fantastic news that a lucky ticket-holder has now claimed this enormous prize. We will now focus on supporting the ticket-holder through the process.

“During the current crisis, we’d like to encourage as many players as possible to check their tickets and play online or on the National Lottery app, and to only buy their tickets in retail or claim a retail prize if they are already in-store to do an essential shop.”

The winner will receive the funds after a standard verification process.
