A fortunate lottery player is sitting on a life-changing fortune without even realising it, as a £1 million National Lottery prize remains unclaimed with the deadline rapidly approaching.
The Countdown Begins
The clock is ticking for the mystery ticket holder who purchased their Lotto ticket for the draw on Saturday, September 30, 2023. The winning ticket matched the five main numbers and the Lucky Star to secure the massive seven-figure prize.
Could This Be Your Ticket?
The winning numbers that could transform someone's life are:
- Main numbers: 5, 18, 26, 27, 39, 45
- Lucky Stars: 4 and 5
The ticket was bought in the Walsall area, specifically within the WS5 postcode district, covering the Pleck and Birch Leas areas. Lottery officials are urging everyone who purchased a ticket in this location to double-check their numbers immediately.
Don't Let Millions Slip Through Your Fingers
"We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and reunite them with their winnings," said a National Lottery spokesperson. "This amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody's life."
Players have exactly 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize, setting the final deadline as Wednesday, March 27, 2024. Any unclaimed prizes after this date will be redirected to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
What to Do If You Think You've Won
If you believe you might be the lucky winner, the National Lottery advises:
- Check your tickets carefully, including old tickets you may have forgotten about
- Keep your ticket in a safe place
- Call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050
- Claim in person at the National Lottery headquarters in Watford if it's a winning ticket
This isn't an isolated case - several multi-million pound prizes have gone unclaimed in recent years, including a £1 million prize in Haringey, London that expired in August 2023.
