A British EuroMillions winner has come forward to claim their prize – but there are still two missing millionaires from recent Lotto draws.

One lucky winner claimed £25,701,358 in Friday’s draw, which comes after another UK ticket-holder won £26 million in the draw on October 3.

But an ‘amazing’ week of luck for Brits could get even better with two more big winners yet to claim their prize.

On October 4, a single ticket-holder won the Lotto jackpot of £10,633,323. They matched all six main numbers in the draw, 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59, to walk away with the jackpot.

This ticket was purchased in retail.

And on October 8, the Lotto jackpot was won again, when a single ticket matched the six main numbers 02, 21, 42, 48, 56, 57 and it is now worth £2 million.

Both prizes are waiting to be claimed.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: ‘It’s been an amazing couple of weeks with big multi-million pound prizes being won every few nights.

‘We will look after the two EuroMillions winners and help them start to enjoy their amazing win.

‘We hope to meet the Lotto winners soon, once we have a claim. So check those tickets and emails – remember it could be you!’
