If you think you’ve won on EuroMillions or Thunderballl, the first thing to do is to check your numbers carefully against the official results.
If you bought your ticket in a shop and it’s a winning one, you should sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe place.
Smaller prizes can usually be claimed at retailers, while larger prizes must always be claimed directly through The National Lottery.
Anyone who has bought tickets online or via the National Lottery app will normally be notified automatically, and any winnings will either be paid into their account or arranged through the lottery operator.
For major wins, winners are urged to seek financial and legal advice before making big decisions about their prize money.
