Lottery millionair­e, step up and claim your prize!

-

SOMEONE in Wales is sitting on a winning Euromillio­ns lottery ticket.

The unknown millionair­e bought a ticket for the draw on February 7 but hasn’t come forward to claim their big win.

Now lottery bosses are urging people in the Ceredigion area to check and double-check their unique Euromillio­ns UK Millionair­e Maker code for the chance to become an instant millionair­e.

For every Euromillio­ns line played, UK players automatica­lly receive a millionair­e maker code printed on their ticket. The winning code on February 7, 2020, was VPDP 74836 and the lucky ticket-holder has until August 5 this year to claim their prize.

Anyone who doesn’t have the ticket but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot but it must be within 30 days of the draw.

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to

National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at The National Lottery, said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings. This amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life.

“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area 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.”

With all National Lottery draws players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize.

Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline can call 0333 234 5050 or email help@nationallo­ttery.co.uk.
