UK Lotto ticket holder wins 'Must Be Won' £20m jackpot - but hasn't claimed it

One lucky lottery player has managed to win the entire £20m prize on the August 6 draw.

However, the lucky ticket holder hasn’t yet contacted Camelot to collect their winnings. The National Lottery’s organiser is urging everyone to check their numbers in case they are the winner of the life changing amount.

According to The Mirror, this means that jackpot for August 10 will revert to £2m. Camelot’s Andy Carter has said that anyone who thinks they’ve won should get in touch with them as soon as possible.

Saturday’s winning numbers were 14, 15, 31, 41, 44, 45 and the bonus number was 20. Lotto draws take place twice a week on Saturdays and Wednesdays.

Most supermarkets and newsagents in the UK sell lottery tickets year round from 8am until 11pm. However, tickets can only be purchased up to an hour before the draw on draw days.

The Thunderball jackpot can be worth up to $500,000, which is still nothing compared to the astonishing £20m that someone can soon claim. However, I’m sure many wouldn’t turn it down.

As well as the massive prized, the National Lottery funds a host of charitable projects across Britain. Since 2004, The Big Lottery Fund has distributed £9.4 billion raised by the National Lottery to various “good causes” across the UK.
