The hunt is on to find a National Lottery ticket holder who has won more than £10 million after hitting the jackpot over three months ago but hasn’t claimed the prize yet.
The lucky person has just become a multimillionaire without apparently realising, winning an amazing £10,600,000 in the National Lottery draw.
However, the mystery winner, who bought the ticket in Bexley, southeast London, has not claimed the top prize yet, and has until April 2 to do so or the money will be donated to National Lottery Projects.
They scored correctly on all six numbers in October 10’s draw, meaning they’ve won a life-changing amount of money.
The unsuspecting winner is not the only person to not immediately claim their hard-won cash.
Metro reported that a person in Birmingham won £1 million and needs to collect it by February 11.
Another person to win a million, this time in Bournemouth, won in November but has yet to pick up the money. Their deadline is May 3.
In December, a Welsh couple got extremely lucky when they won £1 million for a second time in a year.
Courier Richard Davies, 49, and mental health worker Faye Stevenson-Davies, 43, said “fairy tales do come true” after defying the odds of 24 trillion to one to win again.
Mr Davies added: “Everyone keeps asking what we’ll do in the future and we genuinely have no idea at present.
“The first time around we gifted people cars, we donated a minibus to the local rugby team, and did our best to help friends and family.
“It was all new and it was amazing to be able to make a difference.
“This time, who knows, we’ll take our time and enjoy the moment.”
John Waring, 57, was able to retire early from his radio operator job in Devon and Cornwall’s police force after he won close to £4 million over the summer.
Mr Waring bought a Harley Davidson and planned to get a hot tub, alongside a new family home complete with a music room in the Paignton area.
