Hunt the £1 million lottery winner as April’s prize has yet to be claimed

The National Lottery is looking for a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker winner who holds a £1,000,000 ticket from an April draw. EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire in every draw, but in the special EuroMillions draw on 26th April, 10 guaranteed UK millionaires were created and one draw winner still needs to check their ticket and claim their prize .

Players are urged to check and verify their unique EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code. The April 26, 2024 winning code for this prize was HQBB14791 and the lucky ticket holder has until October 23, 2023 to claim their prize.

Anyone who does not hold the ticket for whatever reason but believes they have a genuine claim can make a written claim to the National Lottery, but this must be within 30 days of the draw.

Andy Carter, National Lottery Senior Winning Adviser, said: “This is the only prize left to claim from the special EuroMillions draw. He added: “Check the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, bags, in the car, wallets and purses and that sideboard or drawer we all have to put bits and pieces in – and check your tickets.

“We are desperate to find this mystery ticket holder and pay them their life-changing prize – just imagine the possibilities for them! We’ve got the champagne on ice and we’re crossing our fingers that the lucky winner comes to claim their winnings.”

Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. Players can also purchase and check tickets at retail. Playing online via the app or website means your ticket is verified and you receive an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan retail tickets in the National Lottery app to check if you’re a winner.

If no one presents the winning ticket before the deadline to claim the prize, then the prize money, plus all interest on it, will go to support projects funded by the UK National Lottery. By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30 million each week for National Lottery funded projects. This money helps to fund projects across the country, with more than 685,000 grants – supporting projects both large and small – made across the UK to date.

With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone with questions or who thinks they hold the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180 day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected] .
