Did YOU buy that £35m lottery ticket?
13 August 2007
Camelot said the holder of the £35.4million jackpot-winning ticket from Friday's EuroMillions draw had yet to come forward.
One possibility is that the ticketholder is a member of a syndicate and will not check the numbers until arriving at work this morning.
The draw saw the numbers 23, 40, 42, 43 and 49 come up, along with lucky star numbers 2 and 6.
The massive payout was the result of the EuroMillions jackpot rolling over three times.
A Camelot spokesman said: "It is the largest jackpot won by a British person. It's not unusual for people not to check their tickets until the next day, so the person may not be aware yet. It's very exciting - someone out there is sitting on a fortune."
The winner has 180 days to collect the prize.
The UK's previous biggest EuroMillions jackpot winner was Marion Richardson, from Gateshead, with £16,752,144.80 in April 2004.
A bigger jackpot was won on the National Lottery, however, in June 1995 when £22.6million was shared by Paul Maddison and Mark Gardiner of Hastings, Sussex.
But the biggest EuroMillions jackpot was an astonishing £77million, won by mother-of-six Dolores McNamara, from Limerick, in July 2005.
EuroMillions is played in the UK, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, Portugal, France, Luxembourg, Spain and Switzerland.
