Single Ticket Holder Claims £11.7m UK Lotto Jackpot, Biggest Win of 2024

The National Lottery operator, Allwyn, confirmed the claim for the £11.7 million prize, emphasizing the life-changing nature of the win for the anonymous ticket holder. This significant payout occurred during a 'Must Be Won' draw, where the jackpot amount is guaranteed to be paid out, potentially rolling down to lower prize tiers if no one matches all six numbers – however, in this instance, one ticket matched perfectly.

This record win for 2024 follows a lucky start to the year for UK lottery players. Notable wins include:

Furthermore, attention is drawn to an unclaimed 'Set For Life' prize. A ticket purchased in the Sevenoaks district won £10,000 every month for 30 years (total £3.6 million), but the prize remains unclaimed. The deadline to claim is April 22nd, 2024. Residents are urged to check any tickets purchased in that area.

The subsequent Lotto draw on Wednesday, March 26th, offered a £2 million jackpot, which wasn't won, leading to a rollover for the next draw.

The main winning numbers were 10, 11, 34, 38, 54, 55, and the bonus ball was 26.

No, this is the largest *Lotto* jackpot win in the UK *so far in 2024*. Larger jackpots, particularly in EuroMillions, have been won previously.

There have been 10 Lotto jackpot wins already in the first few months of 2024, indicating they occur with relative frequency.
