Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Time is running out for this ticket-holder, there are only a matter of days left.
“We’re urging everyone to double-check their EuroMillions tickets, and have a look in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa for the missing ticket.
“This money could really make a difference to someone’s life, and this is the only prize left to be claimed from the special EuroMillions draw.
“We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the last of the 20 UK winners from the draw comes forward to claim their prize.”

If no one comes forward with the winning ticket before the deadline, then the money, along with any interest it has generated will go to help National Lottery-funded good causes around the UK.
Players in all the National Lottery draws are given 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they believe they have a winning ticket.
Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
