Unclaimed £41m EuroMillions jackpot
Winner of EuroMillions £41 million jackpot ticket has not claimed their winnings, as public urged to check their tickets.
One lucky EuroMillions player was made a multi-millionaire two weeks ago after matching all five main numbers and the two lucky stars. However, the winner still hasn’t come forward to claim their prize. The hunt is on to find the mysterious winner.
The lucky ticket was purchased in Dorset and is worth a massive £40,957,696.60. The winning numbers were 18, 31, 32, 38 and 48, with the Lucky Stars 4 and 12. The huge sum is the seventh EuroMillions jackpot to be won by players in the UK in 2019.
National Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets so the winner can claim their prize in time for Christmas. They have until 31 May to make their claim else the ticket will be invalid. The money will then go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
It’s massive sum of money any time of the year, but it will sure help raise the festive feels during the Christmas time.
The ticket-holder can call 0333 234 50 50 if they believe they are the winner.
According to The Sunday Times Rich List, this jackpot would take a single ticket-holder into the same league as footballer Andy Carroll (£19M) and pop star Rita Ora (£18M) combined.
Camelot only revealed the county on which the ticket was bought in case the winner wants to remain anonymous.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said they were “desperate” to find the winner. They want to “reunite them with their winnings” – and that a “specialist team” was in place to help them.
Camelot has the power to pay prizes if tickets are stolen, lost or destroyed. However, they can only do this if the player has submitted a claim in writing within 30 days of the draw. An investigation will follow to determine the validity of their claim.
