National Lottery players urged to check tickets with £3million in unclaimed prizes

Punters have been advised to double check their National Lottery stubs with more than £3million in unclaimed prizes - and the clock is ticking.

Bosses have confirmed that six jackpot winners have yet to come forward for games including EuroMillions, Lotto and Set For Life.

And the Mirror reports how time is running out fast for the lucky winners to scoop the life-changing cash - as the tickets are set to expire.

Rules dictate that players of the Camelot have 180 days, about six months, from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have a winning ticket.

Players must contact Camelot within that timeframe - or risk losing out on the cash and being left wondering what might have been.

One prize worth £75,443.40 from a EuroMillions draw needs to be claimed next month.

This incredible cash sum was won by someone in the Metropolitan Borough of Barnsley with the game having taken place on August 20, 2021.

They have until February 16, 2022 to collect their prize.

The person matched five numbers plus one Lucky Star, with the winning numbers being: 3, 9, 19, 20, 23 and Lucky Stars 9 and 11.

A further three EuroMillions wins, two that are worth £1million each and a third that is for £138,366.60, are also waiting to be claimed.

The first £1million prize was won by a player in Liverpool on September 7, 2021, who had the winning UK Millionaire Maker code MWSJ01166.

They have until March 6, 2022 to contact Camelot.

The second £1million prize that remains unclaimed was won by someone in Portsmouth from a draw that took place on November 12, 2021.

They also had a winning Millionaire Maker code (XVGW54390) and must claim their prize by May 11, 2022.

And the £138,000 EuroMillions prize was won by someone in the Borough of Wyre on December 3, 2021. They have until June 1, 2022 to claim.

This ticket holder matched five numbers plus one Lucky Star, with the winning numbers being: 1, 22, 29, 32, 46 and Lucky Stars 9, 10.

There is also a Lotto winning prize worth £1million that must be claimed by June 6, 2022 from a draw that took place on December 8, 2021.

The winning numbers were 2, 30, 31, 34, 52, 58 and the Bonus ball was 5, with the ticket holder living in South Gloucestershire having matched five number plus the Bonus.

Finally, there is one Set For Life prize up for grabs still.

This prize is for £10,000 each month for one year (worth £120,000) from a draw that happened on December 9, 2021.

This winner lives in Northamptonshire and has until June 7, 2022, to claim.

All prize money that goes unclaimed from National Lottery games, plus the interest earned, gets added to the “National Lottery Good Causes” fund.

You can see the latest winning numbers and unclaimed prizes on the National Lottery website.
