    Third Time Lucky: Brit Bags Lottery Jackpot

    A UK ticket-holder has come forward to claim a £46.4m EuroMillions lottery jackpot, Camelot has said.

    Just one ticket matched all seven numbers to take the jackpot - and subject to validation, the prize could be paid out when banks open on Monday.

    The winning numbers were 03 , 07 , 12 , 26 and 34 and the lucky stars were 08 and 10 .

    Camelot said there would be no information on whether the lucky winner is an individual or syndicate, or where the ticket was purchased, unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.

    If the winnings belong to a single ticket-holder, they will be catapulted into 6th place in the National Lottery rich list - thanks to the massive prize of £46,432,285.20

    A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "It's unbelievable that we have had a third huge EuroMillions win here in the UK.

    "Only a few weeks ago, Cassey Carrington and Matt Topham won £45m and last month Gareth and Catherine Bull won £40m, so the UK is clearly enjoying a run of amazing luck.

    "We have plenty of champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the lucky ticket-holder into the National Lottery millionaires' club.

    "Over 2,800 people have become millionaires since the National Lottery began and, to date, our players have raised an amazing £27bn and counting for National Lottery Good Causes."

    Miss Carrington and Mr Topham , both 22 and from Stapleford in Nottingham, won £45,160,170.50 with a lucky dip ticket in the February 7 draw.

    They said top of their shopping list was a new computer and washing machine as their old ones had broken within minutes of each other on the morning of the draw.

    Husband and wife Gareth and Catherine Bull , from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, won £40,627,241 in the January 20 draw.

    Mr Bull, 40, said he bought his lucky dip ticket on a whim when he could not start a building job because of the wet weather.

    The couple said they planned to take their two sons to Disneyland, Florida, but the most pressing matter on 35-year-old Mrs Bull's mind was a new landing carpet as she said their current one was "terrible".

      National Lottery is discriminating, how come nobody wins lottery in London? Is all because its computerised and programmed not to be won in London because of foreigners and minorities in London.

      Fantastic news for the UK with over £160m bought into the UK economy in a matter of weeks.
