Lottery ticket worth £1m claimed in Wales after appeal to find winner

A lottery winner has come forward three months after scooping £1m in the Euromillions draw.

Organisers had appealed last week for the winner in Ceredigion to come forward after the draw on February 7 had gone unclaimed.

Unless the winner of a major National Lottery prize opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win. 

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said: "We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.

"It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this life-changing amount of money.

"During the current crisis, we’d like to encourage as many players as possible to check their tickets and play online or on the National Lottery app, and to only buy their tickets in retail or claim a retail prize if they are already in-store to do an essential shop."

EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire in every draw. For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket. 

Last month, a last-ditch appeal made to find a winner in Rhondda Cynon Taf was unsuccessful.
