The holder of a £10m winning Lotto ticket that was bought in Bradford came forward to claim the prize yesterday.
But the identity of Britain’s newest multi-millionaire remained a mystery.
The numbers – 5, 15, 17, 19, 20 and 47 – were drawn on October 5 and Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, which operates the National Lottery, started an appeal to find the ticket holder last Friday.
After the prize was claimed, a National Lottery spokeman said: “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.
“It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this life-changing sum of money.”
The spokesman added that it was not yet known whether the winner wanted to be identified.
