It could be YOU! Hunt is on for NI ticket to millionaire paradise
Last updated 16th Oct 2020
The hunt is on for the owner of the unclaimed £1,000,000 EuroMillions ticket bought in Belfast.
If you have bought a ticket in the city recently check and re-check it because you could be a secret Millionaire.
The winning code from the October 2 draw was MZMF 67754 and the lucky ticketholder has until March 31, 2021 to claim their prize.
If no-one comes forward before the deadline the money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Andy Carter is Camelot’s Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery.
He said, “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life.
“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.
“Whilst we know that restrictions are much tighter in Northern Ireland from today, local retail outlets remain open for people to check their tickets in-store.
“Where possible, we would encourage everyone to check their tickets online via The National Lottery website or via the National Lottery App.
“You can scan your retail draw-based game tickets on the National Lottery App to see if you’ve won a prize.
“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.
Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.
