The hunt is on for a UK EuroMillions winner who has just days left to claim a prize of £177,547.30. The winning ticket was purchased in Watford, but the owner has not yet come forward. The deadline to claim the prize is midnight on Wednesday, July 15, leaving only one week for the lucky ticket-holder to step forward.
Winning Numbers and Where to Check
The winning EuroMillions numbers from the draw are 5, 17, 24, 29, 50, with Lucky Star numbers 5 and 10. The National Lottery operator Allwyn is urging everyone who may have bought a ticket in the Watford area to check their belongings. Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, said: “Time is now running out for this mystery winner. In just one week, the deadline to claim this £177,547.30 EuroMillions prize will expire, so we’re asking everyone who may have bought a ticket in the area to make one last thorough check.”
Search Efforts and Urgent Appeal
Allwyn has been searching for the winner for more than five months. Carter added: “We’ve searched for more than five months, but there is still time for this lucky ticket-holder to come forward. Check that kitchen drawer, your wallet, the glovebox of the car, the pockets of old coats and bags – anywhere a ticket could have been tucked away and forgotten. With only days remaining, we’d also ask people to spread the word. Talk to friends, family, neighbours and colleagues who may have played EuroMillions back in January. Our priority is making sure this prize reaches its rightful owner before the deadline passes and this incredible opportunity is lost forever.”
