The mystery is officially solved — the £1,000,000 EuroMillions prize in Mid Sussex has been claimed 🎉
After a public appeal asking players to double-check their tickets, Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, confirmed it has received the winning UK Millionaire Maker code tied to the massive £1 million prize.
How the win happened
Every time UK players enter EuroMillions, they automatically get a Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket. Match that code, and boom — you’re instantly a millionaire.
Here’s what makes this win extra special:
-
💷 £1,000,000 guaranteed, no rollover stress
-
🎟️ One of ten UK millionaires created in the January 2 EuroMillions draw
-
✅ All ten prizes have now been claimed
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, shared the good news:
“We’re thrilled to have found our winner after last week’s appeal and can’t wait to help them kick off 2026 in the best possible way.”
What happens next?
Before any champagne pops, the claim goes through a standard validation process. This includes:
-
Verifying the ticket
-
Confirming all game rules and terms were met
-
Protecting the integrity of The National Lottery
Once everything checks out, the winner will be paid during a private appointment with one of The National Lottery’s Winners’ Advisers.
Will we ever know who won?
That’s totally up to the winner. After payment:
-
They can choose to go public — or stay anonymous
-
No details about whether it was an individual or a group win
-
No location info unless the winner decides to share it
For now, one thing’s clear: another life has just changed forever — and the search for this lucky millionaire is officially over. 🍀
