EuroMillions players urged to check tickets as £1m unclaimed

One lucky ticket-holder is yet to claim £1,000,000 following the latest EuroMillions draw. National Lottery bosses said the winner is somewhere in the borough of Chorley, Lancashire.

Players are being urged to double-check their EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code. The winning code on October 24, 2023 was XZVK 79799.

The winner doesn't have long to claim their prize, with the deadline on April 21, 2024. If someone doesn't have their ticket for any reason, but believes they have a genuine claim to the prize, they can make a claim in writing to Camelot, but this must be done within 30 days of the draw.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said, “If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in the Borough of Chorley for the draw on 24 October, 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 this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize - imagine the possibilities for them! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.
