A EuroMillions jackpot prize worth over £57.8 million is something most people would be overjoyed to collect. However, one lucky winner from the EuroMillions draw 1304 on Tuesday, March 17, 2020 has yet to claim their winnings.
While the winner’s details are unknown, National Lottery officials have revealed that the ticket was bought in South Ayrshire, Scotland. To win the EuroMillions jackpot, the ticket successfully matched all five winning numbers (5, 7, 8, 16 and 20) and the two Lucky Stars (2 and 12).
The total prize from the winning ticket sits at £57,869,670. It’s an amount that has Scottish players racing to check their tickets!
National Lottery senior winners’ adviser, Andy Carter, was eager to connect with the UK mystery lottery winner, saying that such a large prize “could really make a huge difference in somebody’s life”. However, as per current government advice, officials recommend checking your results online rather than in-store.

While EuroMillions draw 1304 resulted in the incredible jackpot prize, there are also many other winners to celebrate. Prizes range from £1.80 for matching 2 numbers, to £5,451.20 for matching 5 numbers. Plus, every draw one winner takes home £1,000,000 in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker.
This mystery winner is not the first EuroMillions winner from the lucky county of Ayrshire. It is also home to the Weirs, from Largs. Amazingly, their win crowned them the recipients of Europe’s biggest lottery win, with £161 million in 2011!
What if no one claims it?
There have been many unclaimed lottery prizes to date. This may be because winners have just 180 days to claim their winnings, so make sure to check your tickets quickly.
If the EuroMillions winner doesn’t claim by Sunday September 13, 2020, the prize money will go towards National Lottery’s Good Causes Fund and community projects in the UK.
Incredibly, the unclaimed £57,869,670 EuroMillions prize is not the largest unclaimed lottery prize. In 2012, one ticket-holder missed out on an astonishing £65 million EuroMillions win. Make sure you don’t miss out – check your tickets now.
