A LOTTERY winner has successfully claimed Worcester’s £33 million jackpot.
The prize had previously remained outstanding following the Lotto draw on January 9 and several unsuccessful claims for the cash.
The ticket-holder has opted to remain anonymous. Under its licence to operate the National Lottery, Camelot had a duty of care to protect the anonymity of all National Lottery winners. Therefore no further details will be released about this ticket-holder’s claim.
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.”
Congratulations!
