It could be you! Secret millionaire in Sunderland as £1m Lotto ticket goes unclaimed

The National Lottery is searching for a Lotto Millionaire Raffle winner in Sunderland - who won a prize on Wednesday, September 6.

The lucky millionaire still needs to check their ticket and claim their prize to take home the money - so could it be you?

Every week Lotto Millionaire Raffle guarantees to create two millionaires – one on Wednesday and one on Saturday. This lucky ticket was bought in Sunderland.

The winning code on September 6 was NAVY 1295 4706 and the lucky ticket-holder has until March 5, 2018, to claim their prize.

Anyone not in possession of their ticket but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.

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.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said, “We’re eager to find the mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life. We’re urging everyone who bought a Lotto ticket in this area to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa – someone out there could literally be sitting on a fortune! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
