EuroMillions: Winner To Remain Anonymous

A UK lottery ticket holder has come forward to claim the £81m EuroMillions jackpot but has decided to remain anonymous.

The £81,381,673.30 payout, which saw the lucky ticket holder shoot to sixth on the National Lottery Rich List, had gone unclaimed since Tuesday night.

A Camelot spokeswoman said: "We're delighted that the ticket-holder has now come forward to claim this life-changing prize.

"We are unable to confirm whether the ticket-holder is an individual or part of a syndicate, however they will now be offered the full support of Camelot's Winner Services Team.

"As with all major jackpot winners, they will receive independent, financial and legal advice as well as on-going personal support."

According to the Sunday Times Rich List 2012, winning £80m would make the lucky ticket-holder the joint 908th richest person in the country.

The winner is just £10m short of guitarist Brian May, who is worth £90m, but can boast of being four times richer than Adele, who has a fortune of £20m.

The life-changing sum could see the winner purchase their own Greek island, such as Omfori Island, currently being advertised for just over £40m.

They could then trade in their old car for a Lamborghini Veneno, one of the world's most expensive cars, at a cost of £2.5m, and also buy a dinosaur bone-encrusted iPad 2 Gold History edition for £5million - and still have plenty left to spend.

Or the winner could splash all of the money in one single purchase to buy one of the UK's most expensive homes in Regent's Park in London, which sold in March for £80m.

The winning numbers were 34, 38, 13, 08, 26 and the Lucky Star numbers were 03 and 11.

Since the EuroMillions launched in February 2004, there have been 593 draws, including Tuesday night's.

In that time, 38 UK ticket-holders have matched five numbers and two Lucky Stars to win the jackpot, or a share of it.
