Hunt for missing Euromillions winner over

The latest EuroMillions winner has been found following a public appeal.

National Lottery said the person or group from West Sussex - who they are not naming yet - has now claimed their £1,000,000 prize.

Andy Carter, of National Lottery operator Allwyn, said he was "delighted" the winner had been found.

He added they were looking forward to giving them the "very best start to 2026".

The lucky ticket holder was one of ten millionaires made on 2 January in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw - all of which have now been claimed.

Their claim will now go through the process of validation.

Once complete, the ticket holder will decide whether or not to go public and share their news.

Each week players help generate around £32m for National Lottery-funded projects.

More than £52bn has been raised for good causes across the UK since launch, the National Lottery said.
