Hunt for lottery winner as £12.6million prize has yet to be claimed
A lottery jackpot winner who has scooped £12,626,193 has yet to come forward to claim their prize - a week after the draw. The jackpot was won in last Wednesday's Must Be Won’ draw.
The draw also saw seven Lotto ticket-holders match five main numbers and the Bonus Ball, meaning they all won £1M each. Six of these lucky ticket-holders have since come forward to claim their prizes, with one of the prizes yet to be claimed.
At this stage all that can be revealed is that both the missing Lotto jackpot ticket-holder and the one remaining £1M winner bought their winning tickets online. The two lucky online ticket-holders are urged to check their emails and log into their National Lottery account and then call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 in order to make their claims.
The winning Lotto numbers on Wednesday 4 September 2024 were 03, 06, 15, 25, 29, 41 and the Bonus Ball was 17.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Imagine being a millionaire and not even knowing it. And then imagine being a Lotto jackpot-winning multi-millionaire and being unaware! It’s only just under a week since the amazing Lotto ‘Must Be Won’ draw, but we’re urging all Lotto players to log into their National Lottery account to see if they are one of our two missing Lotto millionaires.
“We’ve already started to support the six lucky ticket-holders who have claimed their life-changing prizes from last Wednesday’s draw, and it’s now time for our multi-millionaire and one remaining millionaire to come forward so that they can start to enjoy their amazing wins."
Once a ticket-holder has called Allwyn and their claim has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news. There will be no information on whether these wins are individual or syndicate wins unless the ticket-holders decide to go public.
Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who has any queries or 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
