A EuroMillions ticket worth £1m has just hours to be cashed in after being purchased in Liverpool. The winner bought their ticket for the Valentine’s Day draw earlier this year, with a race against time underway to track down the lucky ticketholder.
The ECHO previously reported there was just a week for the mystery ticketholder to come forward to claim the prize after the winning ticket was bought in Liverpool. The winning Millionaire Maker code for this prize was TVXM 66825.
A spokesperson for the EuroMillions said the prize is yet to be won and the ticketholder has until the end of today, Wednesday, August 13, to get in touch before it expires.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said last week: “We are rapidly approaching the deadline to claim this amazing EuroMillions prize, but we’ve not yet been contacted by the rightful ticketholder to claim their money, despite numerous appeals.
“There is still time though, but time is short with just one week left for this ticketholder to get in touch.
“We’ve received valid claims on major National Lottery unclaimed prizes right up to the very last minute before.
“All that we ask is for all EuroMillions players to take some time out of their day to have a search and check their tickets. That five minutes out of your day could end up making you a millionaire.
“It would have been very chilly at the time the ticket was bought, so check your coat pockets.
“Do you live or work in this area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting a loved one on Valentine’s Day and stopped at a shop on the way?
“We are ready and waiting with the champagne on ice for that life-changing phone call to come in to us here at The National Lottery.
“Players can check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. Players can also 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.”
The draw on February 14 this year saw 14 millionaires made in one night, with this being the only one not to be claimed.
For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket. The draw also saw one lucky UK ticketholder scoop the £65,341,620.50 jackpot that night.
Those playing the National Lottery have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize should they win.
