Mystery Brit lottery winner yet to claim £1million EuroMillions prize

A £1million EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker prize is yet to be claimed, the National Lottery has said.

The lucky winner who has matched the code from the draw on October 22, 2019 still hasn’t claimed the huge sum.

The ticket was bought in Rhondda Cynon Taf in Wales and had the matching code JCMW 80387 .

Punters are now being urged to check their tickets to see if they have become an instant millionaire, Wales Online reports.

The National Lottery said a statement: "The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket which was bought in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

"For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket.

"The winning code on 22 October 2019 was JCMW 80387 and the lucky ticket-holder has until 19 April 2020 to claim their prize."

The rules state that anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot.

But the National Lottery warns this claim must be made within 30 days of the draw.

"If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK," the statement added.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery said they are desperate to find the mystery ticket-holder.

He added: "We’d be delighted to unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life.

“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding, so that this prize can turn someone into the newest member of the lottery millionaire club.”

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 [email protected] .
