People can check their tickets via the The National Lottery website or through the app, or as part of their essential shopping trips.

The lucky ticket-holder has until September 16 to make their claim - or miss out on the life-changing sum of money.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, "While we are all trying to do the right thing by staying indoors at the moment, it’s a good opportunity to dig out and check those old lottery tickets - a five minute check might just unearth a fortune.

"We know that lots of players often have unchecked tickets lying around, and this is an opportunity for a bit of spring cleaning which might turn out to be very worthwhile indeed.

"If you locate any previously unchecked tickets down the back of the sofa or in one of your old winter coat pockets, there is no need to venture out to the shops to have it checked.

"In the current situation we’re encouraging everyone to check their tickets online via The National Lottery website or via The National Lottery App, and to only buy their tickets in retail or claim a retail prize if they are already in-store to do an essential shop. You can also scan your retail draw-based game tickets on the National Lottery app to see if you’ve won a prize.

"If you are lucky enough to have the winning ticket call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 to claim."

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

Players can contact Camelot by telephoning the National Lottery Line during its normal operating hours.

Alternatively, players can email Camelot to confirm they intend to claim their prize but this email must be received at [email protected] no later than the end (before 12 midnight) of the 180 day claim period, and the claim must subsequently be made in person.
