The National Lottery has set a deadline for the winner of a £1million EuroMillions jackpot to come forward and claim their prize.
The lucky recipient, who bought the ticket in Cardiff, has yet to make themselves known and the organisation is now “desperate” to find the EuroMillions Millionaire Maker winner.
The EuroMillions Millionaire Maker game promises to create at least one UK millionaire in every EuroMillions draw. However, in the draw on August 16, 10 millionaires were created. All but one have come forward to collect their life-changing reward.
The winning Millionaire Maker code for this prize was HGSB 20321 and the lucky ticket-holder has until February 12, 2025 to claim their prize.
Players in Cardiff are now being urged to “look everywhere” to find their tickets and check if they have the unique winning code that would make them a millionaire.
Even if you no longer have your ticket, but believe it could be you, you can still write in to the National Lottery to make a claim.
However, the organisation has cautioned that all claims made must be within 30 days of the draw – which means players in Cardiff without their ticket have until September 16 to write in.
Andy Carter, the senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “This prize is the last one that is yet to be claimed from the special EuroMillions draw. If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in Cardiff for the draw on August 16, it’s time to look everywhere!

“Have a rummage through the pockets of clothes, bags, in the car, wallets and purses, and down the side of the sofa, just make sure to check those 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 being a millionaire and not even knowing it! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
If no one comes forward before February 12, 2025, the prize money and all the interest it has generated will be used to support National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Every week, just by playing any National Lottery game, players produce £30million that is given to such projects – ranging from arts initiatives to sporting events.
Anyone who has any questions or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
Players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the lucky winning ticket.
