Once the ticket-holder has contacted The National Lottery, they will be called by a Winners' Advisor. The ticket will have to be validated and then the prize will be paid. During the validation meeting, the ticket-holder can decide whether to go public and share their news. If they decide to remain anonymous, then no information on whether the ticket-holder is an individual or syndicate winner, or where the ticket was purchased, will be shared.

If the jackpot has been won by a single ticket-holder, they will have a fortune to rival a modern pop phenomenon and footballing royalty. According to The Sunday Times Rich List, each individual member of One Direction is estimated by to be worth £25M, while over in Madrid, the Welsh wonder Gareth Bale is worth £21M.
