A £1-million winning EuroMillions prize has been left unclaimed in Cardiff, according to The National Lottery. The organisation is on the hunt to find a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker winner who has yet to claim their £1,000,000 prize from the special draw held on Friday, August 16. The ticket for the unclaimed prize was bought in Cardiff. In every draw, the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire. However, in the special draw on August 16, ten UK millionaires were created, and one lucky winner has yet to claim their prize.
Cardiff players are now being encouraged to double-check their unique EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code from the special draw, as they might be in with the chance of becoming an instant millionaire. The winning code for this prize was HGSB 20321, and the fortunate ticket-holder has until February 12, 2025, to claim their prize.
Andy Carter, the senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, expressed the urgency by stating, “This prize is the last one that is yet to be claimed from the special EuroMillions draw. If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in Cardiff for the draw on 16 August, it’s time to look everywhere!” Carter suggested rummaging through various places like pockets of clothes, bags, cars, wallets, purses, and even down the sides of sofas to find the winning ticket.
The organisation highlighted the importance of making a claim within 30 days of the draw, even if the ticket is no longer in possession. If the winning ticket isn’t claimed before the prize claim deadline, the prize money and all the interest it has generated will be utilised to support National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
For all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they hold the winning ticket. If anyone believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline, they should contact the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected]. Lost or unchecked tickets can also be addressed by setting up a National Lottery Direct Debit or playing online at www.national-lottery.co.uk.
The National Lottery encourages players to stay informed and connected through their WhatsApp community for breaking news and top stories. Being vigilant about winning tickets and forthcoming draws is crucial for potential winners to claim their prizes before the deadlines expire.
