Mystery lottery winner in Wales has just weeks to pick up unclaimed £1m EuroMillions prize

A mystery lottery winner has just weeks left to claim their £1million cash pot.

An appeal has been made to find the winner in Ceredigion.

The lockdown search is still on to find the owner of the winning ticket from the EuroMillions draw on February 7, 2020, with the winning Millionaire Maker code VPDP 74836.

The lucky ticket-holder has until August 5, 2020, to make their claim.

National Lottery results are always available online at national-lottery.co.uk as well as via the National Lottery app.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: "While we are all trying to do the right thing by staying indoors at the moment, it’s a good opportunity to dig out and check those old lottery tickets - a five minute check might just unearth a fortune!

"We know that lots of players often have unchecked tickets lying around, and this is an opportunity for a bit of spring cleaning which might turn out to be very worthwhile indeed.

The Euromillions changes you need to know about

“If you locate any previously unchecked tickets down the back of the sofa or in one of your old winter coat pockets, there is no need to venture out to the shops to have it checked.

"In the current situation we’re encouraging everyone to check their tickets online via The National Lottery website or via 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. You can also scan your retail draw-based game tickets on the National Lottery app to see if you’ve won a prize."

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.

If you are lucky enough to have the winning ticket call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 to claim
