UK EuroMillions winner scoops massive £83m prize but is walking around CLUELESS as lottery jackpot lays unclaimed

A BRIT punter scooped a massive £83million in Friday's EuroMillions draw - but they have yet to come forward.

The single ticker-holder matched the winning numbers to become the nation's first jackpot winner of 2025.

They were 2, 11, 19, 30 and 49 and the two Lucky Stars numbers were 3 and 8.

Lottery operator Allwyn is waiting for the winner to come forward and claim the £83,474,081.80.

The firm's Andy Carter said: "What a way to start the year."

He added: "I can't believe there's one lucky ticket-holder out there who hasn't claimed this incredible EuroMillions jackpot prize – there are 83,474,081 reasons for them to check
 their ticket straight away!

"It's only been six days since the EuroMillions draw but, we're waiting with bated breath to pay out this latest huge winner.

"We're urging all EuroMillions players to check their paper tickets to see if they are our missing multi-millionaire.

"The biggest EuroMillions win of £195million went to an anonymous UK player in July 2022.

"This is our first EuroMillions UK jackpot winner of 2025, following on from an incredible 2024 which saw four UK EuroMillions jackpots won, including a £177M win by an anonymous single ticket-holder in November, which was the third largest-ever UK win."
