Two people have won £1,000,000 on EuroMillions and don’t even know it
The National Lottery has revealed the two areas in the UK where they know the winning tickets were bought.
The National Lottery has issued a desperate call for two unknown winners to claim million-pound prizes.
A special EuroMillions draw on Friday 3 November was supposed to guarantee 10 millionaires in the UK – but only eight have come forward.
It’s thought the remaining two are players who aren’t aware their tickets were winners, or have lost them.
The organisers have revealed where the winning tickets were bought: Bolton and Northumberland.
Anyone with tickets from the draw has been urged to check them for the unique codes confirming them as winners – TDWQ 89608 and TDWJ 92983.
The winning numbers in the draw were 8, 21, 31, 39, 47 with the Lucky Star numbers 5 and 9.
Another player in Edinburgh has also yet to claim a prize of £84,616.60 for matching the five main numbers and one of the lucky star numbers.
Andy Carter of the National Lottery said: ‘It’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, 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.’
The holders of these tickets have until May 1, 2024 to come forward.
Anyone who doesn’t have their ticket but believes they have a genuine claim will be considered if they write to Camelot within 30 days of the draw.
One of the confirmed EuroMillions winners, 42-year-old mum-of-five Ceri Ann Roscoe-Roberts, said she woke up the day after the draw with ‘the strongest of feelings’ she had won.
She told ITV News: ‘It was the strangest feeling ever! I picked up my phone and looked at my emails and there was one saying there was news about my ticket.
‘I logged into my National Lottery account and there was the confirmation, I was indeed a millionaire! I had to pinch myself as I thought I was somehow in the middle of a dream and none of this was actually real.’
Ceri, who manages a care company, and her husband Paul, a golf course manager, say they have no plans to give up work as they ‘love their jobs’.
