This potential West Country millionaire is the only person out of 31 winners who bagged a fortune in the EuroMillions European Millionaire Maker draw on February 3 earlier this year.
The winning code for this North Somerset local was XFHF 13164- and the lucky ticket-holder only has until next Wednesday, August 2, 2023 to claim.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money.
“We’re urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time – the easiest way to do this is via the National Lottery app – or look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding.
“This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there.”
Players can check their tickets online through the National Lottery app or on the website.
It’s also possible to buy and check tickets in a shop that sells them.
If you take a punt online, your ticket will be checked automatically, and an email will be sent alerting you of your jackpot.
