National Lottery Urges Checks as Six Big Prizes Near Deadlines

Allwyn urges players to check tickets with six major wins nearing claim deadlines.

Overview

  • A Norwich grandfather claimed the Set For Life second-tier prize of £10,000 a month for a year after choosing his own numbers on just his third attempt.
  • An anonymous West Dunbartonshire homemaker said she used a spreadsheet to generate random numbers and won £10,000 a month for a year within months of starting.
  • A £1,000,000 EuroMillions Millionaire Maker ticket bought in Birmingham for the August 15 draw remains unclaimed, with a February 11 deadline to come forward.
  • Five other large wins are unclaimed, including a £10,633,323 Lotto ticket bought in Bexley from the October 4 draw (claim by April 2) and £1,000,000 prizes linked to tickets from Broxbourne (April 29), South Gloucestershire (April 30) and Bournemouth (May 3), plus a Set For Life win from West Dorset.
  • Winners have 180 days to claim prizes before funds are directed to National Lottery community projects, and Allwyn advisers continue public appeals to locate ticket holders.
