An EuroMillions player from Thurrock has come forward to claim a £1 million Millionaire Maker prize.

An EuroMillions player from Thurrock has come forward to claim a £1 million prize. The winner matched the Millionaire Maker code JHDR 46235 in the draw on 13 October and has now begun the process of claiming their winnings.

The National Lottery had launched a public appeal to help identify the ticket holder, who purchased their ticket within the Thurrock unitary authority area.

Andy Carter, senior winner's advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, said: 'Our lucky EuroMillions player has now come forward to claim their incredible £1M prize and we are delighted to bring our search to a successful end.' He added that the winner could now be 'planning with a seven-figure sum heading their way'.

As with all major National Lottery wins, the claim will now go through a validation process. This includes checks to ensure the winner meets the game's rules and terms and conditions, and that the integrity of The National Lottery is maintained.

If the claim is successfully validated, the prize will be paid during a meeting with an Allwyn winners' adviser. The winner will then have the choice of whether or not to go public with the news. No information will be released about whether the ticket was bought by an individual or a syndicate, or the specific location where it was purchased, unless the winner decides to share those details.
