THE winner of a £76 million lottery jackpot is somewhere in the UK but has not yet come forward to claim the incredible sum.

The unidentified ticket holder hit all seven winning numbers in last Friday's EuroMillions draw, but may not even realise they are now a multi-millionaire.

National Lottery bosses have urged Brits to check their tickets and come forward if they won big on Friday, November 2.

The winning EuroMillions numbers on that day were 5, 15, 17, 37, and 44, with the Lucky Stars 7 and 11.

Once the lucky winner reveals themselves to lotto heads at Camelot, the process of claiming the cheque can begin.

The £76,369,806 sum is the fourth EuroMillions jackpot won in the UK in 2018, and sits 12th on The National Lottery Rich List.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said: “Instead of enjoying their massive £76m windfall, the lucky ticket holder has already let a week slip by, and may be going about their everyday routine completely unaware of their amazing change of fortune.

"The ticket was bought in-store so you should check the places you usually keep your tickets and make sure you’ve checked them all in case you’re the missing winner.

"We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win soon.

“Our player services team are on standby waiting for the ticket-holder to come forward.

"They have great expertise in helping winners embrace life-changing wins and making sure that they are able to start to enjoy their new found wealth as quickly as possible.

"They will be on hand every step of the way to guide the ticket-holder through the winning experience.”

Claiming the jackpot would put a single ticket-holder in the same league as pop star Ed Sheeran, worth £80 million.
