Unclaimed £1million lottery ticket in Leeds - and time to claim it is running out

The clock is ticking to find the owner of the winning EuroMillions draw on Friday, March 2020 of this year.

The ticket was purchased in Leeds and the Millionaire Maker code was MGKX 92653.

There is just one month left for the winner to claim their prize as the cut off date will be Wednesday, September 16.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said, “Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money.

"We’re urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time or look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding.

"This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there.

“In the current situation we’re encouraging everyone to check their tickets online via The National Lottery website or via The National Lottery App where possible. You can scan your retail draw-based game tickets on The National Lottery App to see if you’ve won a prize.

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.
