Winning EuroMillions ticket bought in the Highlands

A LOTTERY ticket bought in the Highlands has made one player over a quarter of a million pounds better off.

National Lottery operator Camelot UK Lotteries Limited revealed today (Monday) the previously outstanding £282,940.50 prize from the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday, June 7, has now been claimed.

However, unless the winner opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win. It would have been awful if the ticket holder had missed out on this substantial and life-changing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”

Camelot launched an appeal last month – which featured on www.johnogroat-journal.co.uk – in bid to track down the player before the December 4 claim deadline.

The winning EuroMillions numbers were six, 25, 36, 38, 40 and the Lucky Star numbers were four and 10.

Anyone who believes they have winning tickets for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery line on 0845 910 0000.
