A Camelot spokesperson said: “As with all major prizes, the claim will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the game’s rules, terms and conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected.
"Subject to validation the prize will then be paid at an appointment with one of Camelot’s winners’ advisers.”
Once the ticket has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.
