The owner of a winning £1m EuroMillions ticket bought in South Yorkshire has missed their opportunity to claim the prize.

Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, has announced that the £1,000,000 European Millionaire Maker prize from the special EuroMillions draw on January 21, 2022, when an incredible 100 millionaires were made in one night, has remained unclaimed for more than 180 days after the draw took place.

The ticket-holder bought their EuroMillions ticket in Doncaster and the deadline for the ticket-holder to claim their prize was at midnight on July 20, 2022.

Camelot’s 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.

“Get your ticket early to be in with a chance of becoming an instant millionaire in time for the weekend!”
