The ticket-holder purchased their golden EuroMillions ticket in Warwickshire.
However, they failed to nab the eye-popping winnings by the deadline September 27 deadline.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this substantial amount of money.
“However, the money will now add to the £30M raised each week for National Lottery-funded projects.

With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days (about six months) from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.
All prizes that do not receive a valid claim after 180 days, and any interest they have earned, add to the £30M raised each week for National Lottery-funded projects.
It comes after one lucky single-ticket holder scooped a whopping £5.2million in the this week’s midweek National Lottery draw.
Brits are being urged to immediately check their tickets.
