A staggering £12,626,193 lottery jackpot prize remains unclaimed a week after the draw, with lottery officials on the hunt for the lucky winner. The jackpot was won in the recent Must Be Won draw, where seven other ticket-holders matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball, winning £1 million each. Of these, six winners have already come forward to claim their prizes, leaving one £1 million prize unclaimed along with the massive jackpot. Both the jackpot winner and the outstanding £1 million prize winner bought their tickets online. These winners are urged to check their emails, log into their National Lottery account, and contact the National Lottery Line at 0333 234 5050 to claim their prizes. The winning numbers for the draw were 03, 06, 15, 25, 29, 41, and the Bonus Ball was 17.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, highlighted the excitement of potentially being unaware of a life-changing win, stating, “Imagine being a millionaire and not even knowing it. And then imagine being a Lotto jackpot-winning multi-millionaire and being unaware!” The National Lottery encourages all players to check their accounts to see if they are one of the two missing winners. Once the prizes are claimed and validated by Allwyn, the winners will decide whether to go public. The 180-day deadline from the draw day applies for all National Lottery prizes. Players can purchase and check tickets online through the National Lottery app or website, with email notifications for winners. Retail tickets can also be scanned using the app to check for any wins.
The National Lottery emphasizes the importance of claiming prizes within the 180-day window and urges anyone with winning tickets to contact the National Lottery Line at 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected]. The lottery officials are keen for the remaining winners to step forward and start enjoying their life-changing prizes. The excitement of the unclaimed prizes continues, adding to the mystery of who the fortunate winners might be and when they will come forward to claim their substantial winnings.
