National Lottery players issued 24-hour warning as THREE £10k prizes lay unclaimed – don’t lose out
NATIONAL Lottery players have been issued a 24-hour warning as three £10,000 prizes lie unclaimed.
The lucky player of the Lotto‘s Set For Life can bag themselves the cash prize monthly for one whole year.
And three people are yet to claim their winnings from last month.
As the 30-day deadline is fast approaching, people who bought a ticket on January 9 are being urged to check their numbers.
The winning numbers were 7, 16, 24, 29, 31 and the Life Ball was 3.
If you remember putting these on but can’t find your ticket, don’t panic.
Camelot will still pay out if you have lost, destroyed or had your ticket stolen.
However, only if a player has submitted a claim in writing within 30 days of the draw date – which is tomorrow.
Andy Carter, advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Wednesday 8 February at 5pm is a key milestone for these three incredible Set For Life unclaimed prizes.
“Although there are 180 days for any National Lottery winner to come forward with their winning ticket, during the first 30 days after the draw it’s still possible to make a claim in writing to Camelot if the ticket has been lost, destroyed or even eaten by the dog!
“There’s no need to panic if you haven’t got your ticket to hand, but you need to act fast and write to us before this Wednesday.
“Whether these three prizes are one lucky ticket-holder who, for whatever reason, has played the same winning numbers three times or more than one ticket-holder who have happened to have played the same numbers in the same draw, it’s a total of three prizes worth £10,000 a month for one year waiting to be claimed.”
Players can check their tickets online or on the National Lottery app.
