Is it you? Northumberland ticket-holder yet to claim EuroMillions jackpot
Last updated 17th Nov 2023
The National Lottery is stepping up its search for a EuroMillions winner in Northumberland who is sitting on a ticket worth £1 million.
It's one of two seven-figure prizes which have yet to be claimed from the November 3rd draw, with the other being bought in the Bolton area.
Meanwhile, players in Edinburgh are also being urged to check their tickets, as a prize of £84,616.60 for matching the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number has also still to be claimed.
The winning EuroMillions numbers that weekend were 8, 21, 31, 39, 47 and the Lucky Star numbers were 5 and 9.
All three lucky ticket-holders have until May 1st, 2024 to claim their prizes.
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.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “It’s amazing to be able to create 10 guaranteed UK millionaires in one single EuroMillions draw, on top of winners of other big prizes, but the call now goes out to every EuroMillions player to check their tickets.
“If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in Bolton, Northumberland or indeed the City of Edinburgh for the special draw on November 3rd, 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.
“Do you live or work in this area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through?
"We’re desperate to find these mystery ticket-holders and pay out their life-changing prizes - imagine the possibilities for them! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that all these lucky winners come forward to claim their wins."

One of the lucky 10 ticket-holders who has already claimed their £1m prize from the special EuroMillions draw is Ceri Ann Roscoe-Roberts and husband, Paul, from Bangor in north Wales. Ceri woke up on the Friday morning of the draw with the strongest and strangest feeling that she had to buy a National Lottery ticket. Twenty-four hours later, she was celebrating becoming a millionaire.
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.
Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk.
