The winning ticket was bought in Warwickshire and the winning draw number is JBQS10867.
But with the six-month deadline to claim looming, the player will lose the small fortune if they don’t come forward by Wednesday.
Euromillions’ rules give players of “big prizes” exactly 180 days from the draw date to claim their money.
If the punter fails to come forward the prize and any interest earned on it will go to benefit National Lottery Projects across the UK.

Mike Law, from Worcestershire, won the prize in October 2021 but continued to work as a teacher until this summer.
The 52-year-old said: “To me, winning the National Lottery isn’t about fast cars and speed boats, it’s about opportunity and making memories.”
