A single UK ticket-holder from Scotland has claimed a 拢57.8m Euromillions jackpot prize.
Camelot, the operator of the National Lottery, said the ticket was bought in south Ayrshire for the draw on 17 March.
The owner of the winning ticket matched all five main numbers and the two Lucky Stars in the draw to take the £57,869,670 jackpot.
The winning numbers for the draw were 05, 07, 08, 16 and 20, with the Lucky Stars 02 and 12.
Camelot said the claim must go through the validation process before any payment can be made.
Once the ticket has been validated and the money paid out, it is up to the winner to decide whether to go public.
Camelot's Andy Carter, senior winners' adviser at the National Lottery, said: "It is fantastic news that a lucky ticket-holder has now claimed this enormous prize. We will now focus on supporting the ticket-holder through the process.
"During the current crisis, we'd like to encourage as many players as possible to check their tickets and play online or on the National Lottery app, and to only buy their tickets in retail or claim a retail prize if they are already in-store to do an essential shop."
