Someone in the UK has won £11,000,000 on the lottery but hasn’t claimed it yet
A winning lottery ticket worth more than £11 million is waiting to be cashed in.
The Lotto jackpot of £11,165,532 was won in Saturday night’s draw, but the money remains unclaimed.
National Lottery organisers Camelot said the mystery winner correctly matched all six main numbers and is holding onto a physical ticket.
Another player is yet to claim £1 million after winning in the EuroMillions on Friday.
People who took part in both draws have been encouraged to check this tickets in case they have unexpectedly won.
Senior winners’ adviser at the lottery Andy Carter said: ‘It’s just a week ago that these two life-changing prizes were won by two lucky ticket-holders who have yet to claim.
‘We’re asking National Lottery players to check their tickets – for the Lotto jackpot prize this is the physical paper ticket while for the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker prize we’re asking players to log into their National Lottery account to check, as this win was online.
‘We’re hoping that both winners will now come forward and claim their amazing prizes.’
If a ticket worth more than £50,000 and won in retail has not been claimed after two weeks, Camelot will announce the area in which it was bought.
Players have six months from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.
The mistake of sitting on a winning ticket for too long was exposed last month when someone missed out on £1 million.
A Millionaire Maker player in London failed to claim their winnings with a code of VSHS38986, which was bought from a shop in Lewisham, south London, on January 29.
The money was given to lottery-funded projects across the UK instead.
