One lucky Brit still has to claim their £1million EuroMillions prize
While most EuroMillions winners can't claim their money quick enough, one lucky individual is yet come forward to collect an enormous £1million prize
The National Lottery is currently searching across the country to find the individual, who is sitting on the winning ticket. The EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker is renowned for creating a millionaire in every single draw, but their champion for January 16, 2024, hasn't claimed their prize.
The organisation has asked every player in the Shropshire District to triple-check their tickets, in the hope that they've somehow missed the fact that they're on the fringe of becoming a millionaire. However, time is running out, as the unknown player only has until July 14 to collect their prize, or risk losing it forever.
If this individual has lost their ticket, they can still make an online claim within 30 days of the draw. Every EuroMillions Millionaire Maker ticket has a code printed on it. The winning code for January 16, 2024, was XFKD 58687. Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, Andy Carter, said, “If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in the Shropshire District for the draw on January 16, 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."
He continued: “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 this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize - imagine the possibilities for them! We have the champagne on ice, and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
