FIVE £1million EuroMillions jackpots could lose their prize in just days with punters told to check their tickets now.
The special EuroMillions European Millionaire Maker made 100 people instant millionaires last month – but five winners are yet to claim their prize.

Prizes are set to expire on February 20 – just four days left.
The National Lottery is trying to raise awareness among players ahead of the 30-day deadline for lost, destroyed or stolen tickets.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said the search is on to find the missing millionaires.
He said: “We’re really keen to find these players and pay out their huge prizes.
“We’re hoping that these handful of remaining lucky winners will soon come forward so that they can start to enjoy their amazing win.”
The five missing millionaires bought their winning tickets with the corresponding winning EuroMillions European Millionaire Maker code displayed on their tickets in these locations:

- Doncaster – TVSD23735
- Hinckley and Bosworth District -TVSH82930
This comes after EuroMillions confirmed one Brit ticketholder had come forward and claimed a whopping £109million EuroMillions jackpot yesterday – making them richer than Harry Styles.
They were the sole winner from Friday night’s mega draw.
Carter also said for players who do not have their ticket but think they have a genuine claim, to notify them in writing by 5pm on Sunday, February 20 2022, at the latest.
The remaining winners with the ticket in their possession have until Wednesday, July 20 2022, to make their claim.
Once the claim period is over, the ticket officially expires, and the rightful owner will no longer be able to claim their prize.
Any cash and accumulated interest that isn’t claimed in the UK will be allocated to the National Lottery’s Good Causes fund instead.
This will fund things like sports programmes or local community buildings and projects.
