MAIL ONLINE: Incredible haul is sixth biggest in National Lottery History / Mystery winner has become 908th richest person in Britain / Not known if unnamed winner is part of a syndicate / Sum has made them four times richer than hit singer Adele
The British jackpot winner who today claimed their £81million prize in the EuroMillions lottery has chosen to stay anonymous.
The mystery winner, who is believed to have spent the day considering whether to go public or not, will remain unnamed.
Lottery officials have not revealed whether the ticket-holder played as an individual or part of a syndicate.
The winner has become the joint 908th richest person in the country. 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 spokesman said: ‘The claim has been validated and the prize is in the process of being paid out.’ » | Mark Duell | Thursday, May 30, 2013
