A £1m lottery prize in Harlow remains unclaimed, lottery officials have said.
The unclaimed winning ticket matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the Lotto draw held on January 17.
But the winner of the prize has simply not checked their ticket, and remains in the dark about the riches awaiting him.
The winning numbers were 10, 24, 28, 30, 44, 48, with the Bonus Ball numbered 35. With the winning ticket set to expire on July 15 this year, the race is on to unearth the lucky millionaire.
There were eight unclaimed lottery prizes between August 2023 and December 2023.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, has asked members of the public to search high and low for the elusive ticket. “If you bought a Lotto ticket in the London Borough of Harrow for the draw on 17 January, it’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, in bags, in the car, wallets and purses, and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces – and check your tickets. ”
Players usually have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize. The deadline for this unclaimed ticket is July 15, 2024.
