Search is on to find winner of £1m Lotto prize which remains unclaimed in Milton Keynes

An amazing Lotto prize worth £1m has yet to be claimed from a ticket bought in Milton Keynes.

The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket who matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the Lotto draw on July 19, 2023. The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 12, 30, 34, 39, 41, 47 and the Bonus Ball was 40. The lucky ticket-holder has until January 15, 2024 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.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said: “We are desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings. “This amazing prize could really make an enormous difference to somebody’s life.

"We’re urging anyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old Lotto tickets again – the easiest way to do this is via the National Lottery app – and by looking anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“On Lotto, every ticket-holder who matches five main numbers and the Bonus Ball is guaranteed to win an incredible £1m, and there were two from this draw.

"It’s worth spending a bit of time checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa for this missing ticket. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”

Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk. Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you're a winner.

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.

By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30m each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This funds everything from hundreds of small projects in local communities, to supporting the growth of women’s and girl’s football right across the four nations as the Lionesses compete in this year’s World Cup. To date, over £47bn has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.

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 Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
