A EuroMillions prize worth £1,000,000 will expire this week and go to the Good Causes fund if the winner cannot be found. The player has until close of day on 25th June to claim the prize, outstanding for the last 6 months or the entire prize and any interest accrued will be given to charity.
The ticket was sold for the 27th December EuroMillions draw in the St Albans area of the UK. It didn’t win a prize in the main draw but it did match the UK Millionaire Maker number, netting the winner £1,000,000. However, despite almost 6 months passing since the draw no one has claimed!
Do you buy tickets in the St Albans area? As the ticket was for the first draw after Christmas is it possible someone forget to check the results in the rush of all the Christmas festivities? Is it possible that someone might just be you?
If that might be the case then it’s time to check your handbag, or even the pocket of a now forgotten winter coat as you only have until 25th June to claim or the prize will be lost forever!
With online ticket sales becoming so popular, you’d think unclaimed prizes would be a thing of the past, but this is just one of the very many Lotto and EuroMillions prizes sitting unclaimed with the National Lottery right now!
If you want to ensure that you’re never an unlucky winner who never claimed a jackpot then we advise buying tickets online, but if you do play at the play station then ensure you check the results as soon as possible after the draw, and sign the back of your ticket when you purchase it!
