Urgent hunt for two National Lottery winners across UK - check your ticket now
There are two people in the UK who are millionaires and don't yet know it after the National Lottery revealed they are on the hunt for unclaimed prize-winners – with another unknowing winner sitting on more than £80k.
A spokesperson for the charitable organisation said they have managed to track down the general location of the lucky winners, but now need them to come forward – so it's time for people in Bolton and Northumberland to have a rummage for that winning ticket. Players in the City of Edinburgh are also being urged to check their tickets from the same EuroMillions draw ( November 3), as the prize of £84,616.60 for matching the five main numbers and one Lucky Star.

Players have until May 1 next year to come forward.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said, “It’s amazing to be able to create 10 guaranteed UK millionaires in one single EuroMillions draw, on top of winners of other big prizes, but the call now goes out to every EuroMillions player to check their tickets.
“If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in Bolton, Northumberland or indeed the City of Edinburgh for the special draw on November 3, it’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, bags, in the car, wallets and purses and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces – and check your tickets."

The draw was a special occasion for National Lottery and players, as 10 millionaires were made in one night on EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker. Players in the City of Edinburgh are also being urged to check their tickets from the same EuroMillions draw, as the prize of £84,616.60 for matching the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number has also still to be claimed. The winning EuroMillions numbers in the draw were 8, 21, 31, 39, 47 and the Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.
Camelot said that anyone who doesn't know where their ticket is but 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 added: "Do you live or work in this area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through? We’re desperate to find these mystery ticket-holders and pay out their life-changing prizes – imagine the possibilities for them! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that all these lucky winners come forward to claim their wins."
One of the lucky 10 ticket-holders who has already claimed their £1 million prize is Ceri Ann Roscoe-Roberts and husband, Paul, from Bangor in north Wales. And Andy said, “Congratulations to Ceri and Paul. We’ve all experienced ‘that Friday feeling’ but I don’t think you can top a Friday feeling that seems to mean that you’re going to become a National Lottery millionaire!”
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.
Those that decide to cough up the cash for a ticket help to generate £30 million each week for National Lottery-funded projects, which helps fund projects across the nation, with more than 670,000 grants that support projects both big and small. The lottery has raised £47 billion for good causes since its inception.
Players have 180 days to claim a prize and anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email: [email protected].
