Missing Lambeth EuroMillions Winner Comes Forward to Claim Life-Changing Prize
A EuroMillions winner from Lambeth, London, who had been missing for several weeks, has finally come forward to claim their prize, according to a statement from Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery. The ticket was purchased in the London Borough of Lambeth on April 15, and the winner matched the main numbers 03, 31, 33, 38, and 44 in the EuroMillions draw.
The winning ticket, however, did not match the Lucky Star numbers, which were 6 and 12. The prize, which is reportedly over £90,000, has been claimed after a few weeks of the draw taking place. Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, expressed his delight at the news, stating, "We are absolutely delighted that this lucky ticket-holder has finally come forward and claimed their prize. It’s a cause for real celebration that the ticket-holder has now come forward and is over £90,000 better off!"
As reported by Yahoo News UK, the latest EuroMillions prize claim is now undergoing the standard validation procedure. This includes thorough checks to ensure compliance with the official Games Rules, Terms and Conditions, and to protect the integrity of The National Lottery. Once validated, the prize will be paid out during a scheduled appointment with one of Allwyn’s Winners’ Advisers.
The winner will have the option to decide whether to make their win public, and unless they choose to share details, information about whether the prize belongs to an individual or a syndicate, as well as the location of the ticket purchase, will remain confidential. According to Yahoo News UK, Andy Carter further added, "We’ll now support the ticket-holder through the process so they can begin to enjoy their life-changing win as soon as possible."
The National Lottery has urged players to check and double-check their tickets for the chance to claim this life-changing prize. With the validation process underway, the winner can look forward to receiving their prize and potentially changing their life forever. As Yahoo News UK previously reported, the EuroMillions draw takes place twice a week, offering players the chance to win big.
In a statement, Allwyn emphasised the importance of verifying tickets and the measures in place to ensure the integrity of The National Lottery. The company has reassured players that the validation process is a standard procedure to ensure that prizes are awarded fairly and securely. According to Yahoo News UK, the winner’s identity and other details will remain confidential unless they choose to disclose them.
