Two mystery winners in Greater Manchester and Trattford have just days to claim £1m prize – or lose it forever.
The lucky ticket holder has less than a week left to claim their prize, which was drawn on April 1 this year. The millionaire maker code for the prize was TVCV 85411.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money. We’re urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time – the easiest way to do this is via the National Lottery app – or look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding.
“This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there. Players can check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.
“Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize.
Meanwhile, a would-be-millionaire in Belfast has also been told that they have a month until October 23 to collect their winnings.
The winning EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker ticket was purchased in Belfast and has the code XFGV 45262. The winning draw took place on April 26, 2022.

Every year, Camelot give out unclaimed prizes to good causes, but most winners claim their prizes. Winners have 180 days to claim prize money, after which the money and all the interest it has generated while it is held in trust, goes to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
A huge £20m lottery prize won in the first weekend of Augusts remains unclaimed after the winner failed to turn up to claim their prize. They have until February to claim the massive prize.
