One Shropshire local could soon be £1m better off if their claim for the prize in January 16's EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker is validated.

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has confirmed that it has received a claim for the £1,000,000 prize from a ticket bought in the Shropshire district for the EuroMillions draw on 16 January 2024.

Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.

Unless the lucky winner does decide to go public, no further information will be given on whether it is an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said, “We are absolutely delighted that this lucky ticket-holder has come forward and claimed their prize. What an incredible opportunity this life-changing win presents for them, just imagine the possibilities.

“It’s now our job to support the ticket-holder through the process ... to ensure they can begin to enjoy their life-changing win.”
