A lucky player of the UK National Lottery has secured a jaw-dropping £15 million jackpot, just in time for Christmas. The grand prize was won during the ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto draw, yet the identity of the winner remains a mystery as the ticket is yet to be claimed.
National Lottery spokesperson Andy Carter shared the news on Saturday evening, declaring, “Brilliant news, one lucky ticketholder has won tonight’s festive £15m ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto jackpot.”
“That’s certainly something to cheer about this Christmas. Players are urged to check their tickets and to give us a call to claim tonight’s exciting jackpot prize.”
This latest ‘Must Be Won’ draw came shortly after a £13 million jackpot was clinched in the previous week by a sole ticket-holder.
The winning Lotto numbers were 17, 29, 31, 40, 47, 56 and the bonus number was 44. Two people also picked up £1million after matching five numbers plus the bonus ball.
