A father was cleaning out his car when he stumbled across a winning Euromillions ticket worth £55,086 that he had forgotten he purchased in December last year. Dion Davies, 47, from Ceredigion in Wales was doing a quick check of his motor before a valet earlier this month when he made the lucky discovery in his sun visor and decided to check his numbers.
Dion had managed to match all five numbers, which he chose as they matched the birthdays of family members, along with one lucky star in the Euromillions draw which had taken place on Tuesday, December 20. He was unaware that The National Lottery had officially announced in January that the winning ticket remained unclaimed, Wales Online reports.
After finding the winning ticket, Dion told his wife Ifana before the couple called to make the claim and were over the moon to hear that Dion was a winner. The actor had bought the ticket at a local Tesco while he was starring in a Christmas pantomime production of Sleeping Beauty at The Torch Theatre in Milford Haven.
