Two lucky EuroMillions winners are facing a race against time to claim their life-changing prizes. One winner in Bury has 60 days left to claim a £1 million prize, while the massive £83.4 million jackpot remains unclaimed, prompting an extensive search by lottery operator Allwyn.
A frantic search is underway for a lucky EuroMillions winner who only has 60 days left to claim their £1 million prize. Information available on the National Lottery website reveals that there is a fortunate winner residing in Bury who won a prize of £1 million in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw on October 4, 2024. However, the winner is yet to claim the money, leaving them with a dwindling 60-day window until the prize expires on April 4, 2025.
According to National Lottery rules, winners have six months from the date the prize is drawn to contact the lottery and make their claim. Failure to do so results in the forfeiture of the prize, which in this case would revert to National Lottery Projects. These projects encompass a wide array of causes, including arts, heritage, and community initiatives. This situation unfolds amidst a separate search for the EuroMillions jackpot winner who has also yet to come forward and claim their £83.4 million prize. Lottery operator Allwyn disclosed that the total prize fund amounts to £83,474,081 from the draw on Friday, January 24. While Allwyn has confirmed that the winning ticket was purchased at a local shop, the specific location remains undisclosed. An Allwyn spokesperson described it as 'very unusual' for such a substantial prize to go unclaimed, even stating that the £83.4 million win was the 'biggest prize to have gone unclaimed at this stage.'Allwyn has revealed that if the jackpot prize remains unclaimed by next Friday, February 7, it will enter the next stage of the process. This will involve conducting 'bespoke activities' in the area where the ticket was purchased in an attempt to locate the winner. The spokesperson emphasized: 'It is in everybody’s interest that this prize is claimed.' Andy Carter, senior winners’ Adviser at Allwyn, added: 'I can’t believe there’s one lucky ticket holder out there who hasn’t claimed this incredible EuroMillions jackpot prize – there are 83,474,081 reasons for them to check their ticket straight away.
