Winning the lottery is incredibly unlikely but for some lucky few it is a reality and they walk away with millions. One mystery player in Manchester has won £1million but they have not come forward to claim it.
Whoever won the prize has yet to come forward and time is running out as all winnings must be claimed within 180 days after the day of the draw. On April 1, this winning Euromillions ticket matched the UK Millionaire Maker code which was TVCV 85411.
The ticket was purchased in the Trafford area of Greater Manchester, according to the National Lottery. Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, told Manchester Evening News: "Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money.”
The National Lottery are urging everyone to check old tickets purchased around this time in Greater Manchester. “Look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding,” said Andy, "This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there.”
The mystery winner needs to call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 to claim by Wednesday, September 28, 2022 if they want to keep their £1million. If they fail to come forward the prize money is withdrawn and the ticket becomes invalid.
If unclaimed the money will go on to help National Lottery-funded endeavours across the UK. The lottery funds a variety of projects including mental health and wellbeing support and environmental restorations.
Players who use the website or app are automatically emailed if their ticket is a winner so you will never miss out should you win. This is great for those who like to play but forget to check their tickets after the draw or are prone to losing them.
