Search on for £1million Lotto winner in Co.Antrim

By David Hunter

The clock really is ticking for a mystery lottery winner in County Antrim to claim a £1,000,000 winning EuroMillions prize.

The winning ticket was bought for the 27 April April draw with the winning Millionaire Maker code XJFK 54026.

The lucky ticket-holder only has until 24 October 2018 to make their claim.

With just a month to go National Lottery players are being urged to check and double-check their tickets.   

For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money. 

"We’re urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time or look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding.

"This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there.”

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK. 

In Antrim alone over 500 individual National Lottery grants have been awarded to help projects across the arts, sports, heritage, health, education, environment, charity and voluntary sectors.
