A EuroMillions lottery winner has missed out on a £1m prize after failing to claim it within the 180-day deadline. The winning ticket was from the draw on 22 October, but the deadline passed at midnight on Sunday.
The ticket was purchased in Rhondda Cynon Taff, south Wales. Camelot spokesman Andy Carter said: 'The ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this substantial amount of money.'
To prevent such situations, Camelot urges players to check tickets online or via the app, which sends an email notification to winners. Unclaimed prizes, along with any interest earned, are donated to National Lottery Good Causes.
