The National Lottery is continuing its search for a £1 million EuroMillions winner as the deadline quickly approaches.
The winner, who is said to be in North Somerset, is yet to come forward to claim their prize from the special EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw.
The draw, which took place on Friday, February 3, saw 100 people become millionaires overnight.
Unlike the usual UK Millionaire Maker draw, 31 UK players instantly became £1,000,000 richer overnight in a special one-off lottery bonanza.
Now, the National Lottery is looking to gift another winner, ahead of the 30-day deadline which is fast approaching.
The winning code and the area the ticket was bought were announced last week and said to be bought in North Somerset and the code was: XFHF 13164.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said it was important for anyone that thinks they had a genuine claim to the prize to come forward - even if they're not in possession of the ticket.
He added: "We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life.
“It’s important to note that with the winning ticket in their possession, the ticket-holder has until August 2 2023 to make their claim.
“We’ve already started to support the 30 ticket holders who have claimed their prizes from the special EuroMillions draw, and we’re hoping that this lucky ticket-holder who bought their ticket in North Somerset, will now come forward so that they can start to enjoy their amazing win.”
Under its license, Camelot said it could pay prizes if the ticket is lost, destroyed, or stolen, but only if the player has submitted a claim in writing within 30 days of the relevant draw.
If the player could provide sufficient evidence, Camelot will investigate and consider the validity of their claim.
The deadline for any claim for the North Somerset EuroMillions prize, which has to be submitted in writing, is 5pm on Sunday March 5 2023.
But if no one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Anyone 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 help@national-lottery.co.uk
