A lottery ticket is set to earn a South Gloucestershire gambler nearly £3.7m, but it has yet to be claimed.

National Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets from the Euromillions draw on October 8.

The winning numbers were 7, 10, 15, 44, 49 and the Lucky Star numbers were 3 and 12. The ticket holder in question matched all five main numbers and one Lucky Star number.

They have until April 5, 2020 to claim the prize, a staggering £3,696,966.80.

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.

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the deadline, then the prize money will go to help National Lottery-funded projects.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “We’re eager to find the 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 EuroMillions ticket in this area to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa – someone out there could literally be sitting on a fortune! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”

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 help@national-lottery.co.uk
