A lottery ticket holder is yet to claim an incredible £5,070,357 jackpot prize from the Lotto draw on Wednesday, September 28.
As it has been over six days since the draw and the prize still hasn't been claimed, it can be revealed that the ticket holder bought their winning Lotto ticket in retail.
The winning numbers on September 28 were 3, 15, 20, 48, 57 and 58.
Players should all check their paper tickets, either in store or scan the ticket via the National Lottery app, and call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 50 50 in order to make their claim.
It was an amazing September for Lotto players, with three incredible jackpot prizes won and a total of 11 ticket-holders who scooped £1m each just by matching the five main numbers and the bonus ball.
Alongside this £5m jackpot prize, in the draw on September 10 one lucky player won the £7.1m jackpot, followed closely by a ticket-holder who scooped the £5.2m jackpot in the draw on September 21.
October has also started with a bang, with a special £20m ‘Must Be Won’ Lotto draw on the first of the month.
Although no player matched all six main numbers to win the jackpot, in a ‘Must Be Won’ draw the jackpot rolls down to boost all other prize tiers, meaning that the two players who matched the five main numbers and the bonus ball in the draw each won an incredible £1.1m.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Have you got an unchecked Lotto ticket? Well, it could be life-changing.
"Players should check their tickets and contact us so that we can pay out another fantastic Lotto jackpot prize.
"It’s been a busy month or so for me and my team with Lotto making an amazing 14 millionaires since the beginning of September, and we hope this lucky Lotto streak continues.
"Each and every winner has a chance to change their life and the lives of the people around them, whether that be with homes, holidays or supporting causes close to them.”
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 shops.
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.
With all major prizes (£50,000 and above) won in retail, the area that the ticket was won in will be released after about two weeks.
This area is provided by Camelot’s security team in line with its licence obligations and is designed to encourage tickets to be checked but also to enable the ticket-holder to remain anonymous if they wish.
Once a ticket-holder has called Camelot and a claim has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.
There will be no information on whether it is an individual or syndicate winner unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.
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 help@national-lottery.co.uk

It comes as a worker chatted to her colleagues about what they’d do if they won the lottery - not realising she'd already had.
Suzy Fenton, 44, scooped £10,000 a month on the National Lottery’s ‘Set For Life’ game, during the record-breaking heatwave and celebrated by buying an air conditioning unit with her windfall.
“I was literally sitting chatting in work with my colleagues about what we would all do if we won the lottery – not knowing that I was actually already a winner!” she said.
“We were saying; ‘what would you do if you won the lottery, would you still work?'
"I remember saying I think it would depend how much I’d won.
“One of my colleagues said I would be off like the road runner and another said they would carry on working and we all looked at her.”
