Camelot confirmed the winner of Friday's jackpot had come forward but refused to name the winner.

However TV crews and newspaper reporters descended on the Lanarkshire town after rumours spread that the woman, who works in a Glasgow mail sorting office, had scooped the jackpot.

Camelot, however, refused to comment on the rumours beyond confirming that the British winner made a successful claim this morning.

The ticket holder won Friday night's draw with the numbers 23, 40, 42, 43 and 49 and lucky star 2 and 6.

And today the media descended upon East Kilbride amid rumours that the winner lives in the Lanarkshire town and works in a Glasgow mail sorting office.

However, the lottery operator refused to confirm names.

Camelot said: "The ticket has been validated and the prize paid out.

"No further details will be given unless the winner signs a form agreeing to take publicity."

The £35,425,412 prize- the largest lottery payout in Britain followed a triple rollover.

The UK's first - and previous biggest - EuroMillions jackpot was lifted by Marion Richardson, from Tyneside, who won £16,752,144.80 in April 2004.

The biggest jackpot to date was £77m, won by mother-of-six Dolores McNamara, of Limerick, Ireland, in July 2005.

The EuroMillions winner could make £2m in interest every year by investing the money in a bank or building society account.

Alliance & Leicester said that with their rate of 6.13% the £35.4m would generate nearly £181,000 in interest each month, or £2.23m over a year.

Such winnings could also afford a luxury house in the countryside.

Perhaps somewhere like the Culham Court estate - a 10-bed Grade 2 listed Oxfordshire property in 650 acres of parkland on the banks of the Thames - would be suitable.

It sold for £35m last year.
