Nobody has claimed EuroMillions jackpot won on day UK went into coronavirus lockdown
If you bought a lottery ticket recently, check your numbers!
Someone has won nearly £58,000,000 – but hasn’t claimed their winnings.
They could be sitting out the coronavirus lockdown on their own golf course drinking champagne from a diamond goblet – but instead they’re probably queuing one-in-one-out at Tesco like the rest of us.
The winning ticket was bought in South Ayrshire with the owner matching five numbers and two Lucky Stars in the draw on March 17.
They won the jackpot of £57,869,670 by guessing 05, 07, 08, 16 and 20, with the Lucky Stars 2 and 12.
EuroMillions bosses have urged people to check their tickets and come forward by September 13 to claim the money.
The money will go towards National Lottery-funded projects across the UK if the winner is not found.
A National Lottery spokesman said: ‘We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with this massive prize which could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.
‘We’re urging everyone who might have bought a EuroMillions ticket in this area to check their old tickets or look for any missing tickets at home.
‘In the current situation, rather than taking a trip to the shop to check your tickets, we’re encouraging everyone to check their numbers online via The National Lottery website or via The National Lottery App.
‘While we are all trying to do the right thing by staying indoors at the moment, it’s a good opportunity to dig out and check those old lottery tickets.’
