HEADLINE - Unclaimed £1 million EuroMillions ticket was bought in South Yorkshire

A search has been launched for the winner of an unclaimed £1 million EuroMillions prize with a ticket bought in South Yorkshire.

The National Lottery said a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker winner has won a £1,000,000 plus ‘dip into paradise’ prize.

Every week EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker guarantees to create four millionaires - two on Tuesday and two on Friday - but with special EuroMillions Mega Week draws, there are more guaranteed UK £1m prizes, millionaire lifestyle experiences and huge jackpots to be won.

One winner from the draw on Tuesday, January 31, bought their ticket in Barnsley but has not yet come forward to claim their prize.

The winning code was TWPG 84490 and the ticket-holder has until July 30 to make a claim.

Anyone not in possession of their ticket, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.

Andy Carter, a National Lottery adviser, said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.

“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding, so that this prize can turn someone into the newest member of the lottery millionaire club.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”

Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0844 338 7551 or email [email protected]
