Highland winner claims big money lottery win
The winner of a big money EuroMillions Lottery prize in the Highlands last month has now come forward.
However, their idenity will remain a secret because the lucky ticket holder does not want to go public with their £282,940 win.
The ticket was bought for the EuroMillions draw on Tuesday June 7.
It had previously remained outstanding but has now been claimed.
Unless the winner of a major National Lottery prize opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win.
A National Lottery spokesperson 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 substantial and life-changing amount of money.
"We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”
