The fortunate winner from South Gloucestershire who scooped a £1 million prize in the Lotto draw is nearing the end of the claiming period, with only three weeks left before the deadline.
The National Lottery is urging players in the South West of England to carefully search their usual hiding spots for the missing pink ticket from the November 1 draw, such as wallets, pockets, and Halloween costumes. Despite taking place the day after All Hallows’ Day last year, the prize money has yet to be claimed.
Andy Carter, a senior winners advisor at Alwyn, the lottery operator, stated: “We are appealing to individuals who may have purchased a ticket for the Lotto draw on November 1, 2021, in South Gloucestershire to double-check their tickets.
“If you live in South Gloucester or were in the vicinity in the days leading up to the draw, we are determined to find the missing millionaire and award them their life-changing prize. Just envision how this substantial win could transform your life.”
The winning numbers for the draw were 17, 18, 31, 36, 39, 51 , with the Bonus ball number being 29.
The unclaimed ticket will expire on April 30, prompting a race against time for the six-figure winner before the prize money is redirected to the National Lottery’s charitable causes.
“Make sure to thoroughly search any places where you might have stored your pink ticket – whether it’s in a safe place, an old wallet, or even the pocket of a winter coat you haven’t worn recently. Given the proximity to Halloween, could it be hidden in your costume?”
Players have the option to purchase and check their tickets online by using the National Lottery app or by visiting national-lottery.co.uk . Retail tickets can also be scanned using the National Lottery app.
