Time is running out for one lucky Euromillions player who could be sitting on an unclaimed £1 million prize. The winning ticket was purchased in Westminster, but the deadline to claim the life-changing sum is fast approaching.
The National Lottery has issued an urgent plea for players to double-check their old tickets, as the winner has just days left to come forward. The winning numbers were drawn on 14th July 2023 as part of the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker draw.
Could This Be You?
If you played Euromillions in Westminster around this date, you might want to:
- Check pockets of old clothes
- Look through drawers and wallets
- Search your car's glove compartment
- Review any saved digital tickets
The winning code for this particular draw was XKPK 88995. Lottery officials are particularly keen to find the winner as the 180-day claim period ends on 10th January 2024.
What Happens to Unclaimed Prizes?
If no one comes forward, the £1 million will be added to the National Lottery's Good Causes fund, which supports thousands of projects across the UK in areas like:
- Arts
- Sports
- Heritage
- Community projects
While this would benefit many good causes, lottery representatives would much rather see the money go to its rightful winner.
How to Claim
If you believe you might be the winner, you should:
- Keep the ticket safe - it's the only proof of purchase
- Call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050
- Visit a National Lottery retailer for validation
