National Lottery on hunt for 4 ‘missing millionaires’ as Euromillions tickets go unclaimed

EuroMillions players are being urged to check their tickets as four £1 million prizes remain unclaimed. A total of 26 lucky ticket-holders in the UK each scooped £1 million prizes in last Friday’s EuroMillions European Millionaire Maker draw, 22 of which have been claimed.

The National Lottery said two missing EuroMillions winners bought their winning £1,000,000 tickets online while the other two were bought in retail.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “I can’t believe that four ticket-holders out there are millionaires and they don’t even know it yet!

“It’s only been a week since this special draw but 22 of these lucky UK winning ticket-holders are already enjoying their life-changing win.

“We’re urging all EuroMillions players to check their paper tickets and their National Lottery accounts to see if they are one of our four missing millionaires.”
