EuroMillions Millionaires raffle prize remains unclaimed in Swindon
11:22am Friday 12th October 2012 in Latest News By Staff reporter
The National Lottery is hunting for the holder of a EuroMillions raffle ticket bought in the borough of Swindon to tell them they are a millionaire.
The lucky winner from the draw on Friday September 28 has still to check their ticket and claim their prize.
The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket. For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle selection printed on their ticket.
The winning selection on September 28 was ZLJ501773 and the lucky ticket-holder has until Wednesday March 27 2013 to claim their prize.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest the prize has generated, will go to The National Lottery Good Causes – adding to the £28 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets since The National Lottery launched in November 1994.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.
“Being able to guarantee two UK millionaires every week with Millionaire Raffle is fantastic and we’re urging everyone to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding so that this prize can turn someone into the newest member of the lottery millionaire club.
“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0845 910 0000.
