A Euromillions prize worth £220,000 which was won last month has yet to be claimed, and lotto bosses say they are desperate to hand the cash over to the lucky winner.
The unknown winner purchased their ticket for the draw on Friday 27 October in Northampton, according to the National Lottery, but have yet to come forward to claim their prize of a total of £220,132.50.
Anyone who thinks they could be the winner is now being urged to ‘look everywhere’ for their ticket which matched five main numbers of 29, 33, 35, 48 and 49, and one Lucky Star number.
The Lucky Star numbers on that date were three and eight.
The lucky ticketholder has until April 24 to come forward and claim their winnings. If the person who won has lost their ticket, they can contact Camelot in writing by November 26 about the prize.
If the winnings remain unclaimed, the total amount including interest will be handed over to National Lottery-funded projects, which operate throughout the UK.
Around £600m a year is distributed to communities and a variety of different causes across the UK through the fund, with the money being raised by National Lottery players.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at the National Lottery said the organisation has its ‘fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win’.
‘It’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, bags, in the car, wallets and purses and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces – and check your tickets’, he told Sky News.
‘Do you live or work in this area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through?
‘We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize – imagine the possibilities for them.’
