Two fortunate individuals in London are on the verge of a life-changing windfall, as two winning lottery tickets, one valued at £1 million and another at £100,913.60, have yet to be claimed, potentially offering a spectacular start to the new year.
The first lucky Londoner, holding a ticket worth a staggering £1 million, purchased their golden ticket in Haringey. The winning numbers were drawn as part of the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker game on August 22, 2023, under draw number TCMH10741. However, the clock is ticking for this fortunate ticket holder, as they have until February 18 to claim their substantial prize.
The second winner, who purchased their ticket in Kingston upon Thames on December 5, 2023, is in possession of a winning ticket worth £100,913.60. Their triumph came with the numbers 4, 6, 20, 24, 25, along with the Lucky Stars 5 and 9. This winner has until May 2 to step forward and claim their sizeable reward.
For anyone who has recently participated in the EuroMillions, it is strongly advised to check their tickets thoroughly. These unclaimed prizes serve as a reminder that fortune may be waiting for the unsuspecting ticket holder.
The National Lottery website outlines the process for claiming these substantial winnings. They explain, “The big prizes below have either not been claimed or have not yet been validated and paid. We hope a lucky player comes forward in time, but if a valid claim is not received within 180 days (around 6 months) of the draw date, the prize and any interest earned on it will go to benefit National Lottery Projects across the UK.
If you suspect you hold the winning ticket, it is crucial to follow the necessary steps to claim your prize, whether you played through the app or in-store. The National Lottery website provides a questionnaire to guide you through the claiming process.
As of now, there are a total of 11 unclaimed National Lottery prizes across the UK, offering an array of opportunities for potential winners. These unclaimed prizes span various regions, including Doncaster, City of Edinburgh, Northampton, and beyond. To explore the full list of unclaimed prizes, individuals are encouraged to visit the National Lottery website.
The race is on for these two fortunate individuals to step forward and claim their well-deserved fortunes, which could usher in a life of financial security and opportunities.
