A single ticket-holder has come forward to claim a £13 million Lotto jackpot.

National Lottery operator Camelot said it had received a claim for the “Must Be Won” prize draw on July 7 for £13,137,760.

The claim will now go through a validation process.

Once the prize has been paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether to go public or remain anonymous.

Camelot said it would not release any information on whether the winner is an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased, unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.

Camelot’s senior winners adviser, Andy Carter, said: “What sensational and sunny news for one lucky Lotto player.

“We will now look to support the ticket-holder through the process and help them to start to enjoy their life-changing win.”
