A £1m EuroMillions prize has gone unclaimed in south Wales, as reported by Wales Online. The lucky winner has just a month to claim their prize. In every draw, the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire; however, this lucky winner has yet to come forward to claim their prize. The winning ticket was bought in the Rhondda Cynon Taf area for the draw on April 16, 2024, and the deadline to claim the winnings is Sunday, October 13, 2024.
Players are being urged to check their EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code, as the code for the winning ticket is XMXB 32530. Andy Carter, a senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, emphasized the importance of checking tickets promptly, stating, “We are rapidly approaching the deadline to claim this amazing EuroMillions prize but we’ve not yet been contacted by the rightful ticket-holder to claim their prize, despite numerous appeals.”
If the prize remains unclaimed, the money, along with the interest it has generated, will go towards National Lottery-funded projects in the UK. The National Lottery advises that players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they hold the winning ticket. For any queries or to report a winning ticket, individuals can reach out to the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk. Additionally, players concerned about lost or unchecked tickets can set up a National Lottery Direct Debit or play online at www.national-lottery.co.uk.
It is crucial for all EuroMillions players to take the time to search and check their tickets. Whether checking online via the National Lottery app or website or scanning retail tickets, players are encouraged to ensure they do not miss out on a potential prize. The National Lottery highlights that over 690,000 lottery grants have been made across the UK, with players contributing an average of more than £30m each week towards significant projects.
As the deadline for claiming the £1m EuroMillions prize in south Wales approaches, players are reminded to verify their tickets promptly to avoid missing out on the life-changing opportunity.
