Huge EuroMillions prize worth £185,000 yet to be claimed after ticket bought in North Norfolk

National Lottery players are being urged to double-check their tickets as a huge EuroMillions prize worth more than £180,000 has yet to be claimed from a ticket bought in North Norfolk.

The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket, who matched the five main numbers and one Lucky Star in the EuroMillions draw on September 15 – with the prize worth £185,147.10.

The winning numbers on that date were 12, 14, 21, 45, 48 and the Lucky Star numbers were 8 and 11.

The lucky ticket-holder has until March 13, 2024 to claim their prize.

Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “We’re really desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this fantastic prize could make a huge difference to somebody’s life.

“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa, we have our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.

“Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.

“Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize.

“You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you’re a winner.”

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.

With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.

Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk
