The National Lottery still on the hunt for Antrim Euromillions winner

by Gráinne Connolly

The National Lottery is searching for the owner of a winning Euromillions ticket that was bought in County Antrim. 

The draw that took place on Friday 27th April, drew two tickets, however one has yet to come forward. 

Players in the County are being urged to check and double check their unique EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code for the chance to become an instant millionaire.

For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket.

The winning code on 27 April 2018 for this prize was XJFK 54026 and the ticket-holder has until 24 October 2018 to claim their prize. 

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.2

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. 
 

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said:

“We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.

“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding, so that this prize can turn someone into the newest member of the lottery millionaire club.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”

With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.

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 LotteryLine on 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk.
