Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets and come forward if they have won a prize - or risk losing the money.
A number of lucky winners are set to become millionaires but they don't even know it yet. The National Lottery is asking players to check their tickets as soon as possible.
This is because one big winner has just 11 days to claim their prize, worth a massive £1,000,000. The EuroMillions draw was held on September 9, 2022, but the prize remains unclaimed.

EuroMillions players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket. The winning code on September 9, 2022, was TDJL68325 and the lucky ticket-holder only has until March 8 to claim their prize. The ticket was bought in the Tewkesbury area, reports the Liverpool Echo.
But this isn't the only unclaimed prize. There are currently unclaimed EuroMillions and Set for Life tickets worth almost £15m in total, including winners from the North East. Here are all the details for outstanding winning EuroMillions and Set for Life tickets.
