Could you be a multi-millionaire, and you don’t even know it?
That is the possibility for one lucky person as a winning £41 million EuroMillions ticket still remains unclaimed.
The National Lottery announced the winning ticket for the Tuesday 3 December draw was purchased in Dorset. The exact town is not being announced in order to protect the winner’s identity.
The winning numbers were 18, 31, 32, 38, 48, and 4 and 12 were the lucky stars.
Players in Dorset are being urged to double-check their tickets to ensure they don’t miss out on the millions. Even if the ticket has been lost or damaged, the winner is still encouraged to come forward.
Eight senior staff members at the National Lottery are on standby to assist the winner if they come forward.
The owner of the winning ticket has until 3 May 2020 to claim their prize.
Any unclaimed lottery winnings are allocated to the National Lottery’s Good Causes fund. This will benefit charities, trusts and associations throughout the UK.
This is the seventh time EuroMillions has been won by someone within the UK this year.
In October, an anonymous person became the UK’s biggest ever winner after they won a £170 million EuroMillions jackpot. In June, another anonymous player won £123 million from EuroMillions.
In November, West Sussex resident Steve Thomson won £105 million. The modest lottery winner announced he would be returning to work as a builder in order to avoid letting down his customers before Christmas.
