A ticket holder from the UK has claimed Friday's £87m Euromillions jackpot, Camelot has said.
If the claim is validated, the winner will bank £87,570,000, making them the seventh biggest UK jackpot winner, the lottery operator added.
It is the third Euromillions jackpot winner from the UK this year, following wins of £19.9m and £14.5m in February.
Six ticket holders, including two from the UK, each won Friday's second prize of just over £200,000.
Andy Carter, from Camelot, said: "It's great that the ticket holder has come forward to claim their amazing prize.
"We look forward to supporting the seventh biggest lottery winner in the UK as they celebrate their life-changing win."
Camelot said it would be up to the ticket holder to decide if they wanted to go public.
