THE National Lottery is on the hunt for a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker winner in St Helens who is sitting on a ticket worth £1,000,000. 

EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire in every draw but the lucky winner from the EuroMillions draw on July 28, 2023 has still to check their ticket and claim their prize.

Players in the borough of St Helens are now being urged to check and double-check their unique EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code for the chance to become an instant millionaire.

For every EuroMillions line played, UK players automatically receive a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker code printed on their ticket. The winning code on 28 July 2023 was MSJS 96560 and the lucky ticket-holder has until 24 January 2024 to claim their prize.

Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, 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.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery said, “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life. We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions 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. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.

“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 retail. 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."

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. By playing any National Lottery game, players generate £30M each week for National Lottery-funded projects. This funds everything from hundreds of small projects in local communities, to supporting the growth of women’s and girl’s football right across the four nations as the Lionesses compete in this year’s World Cup. To date, over £47BN has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded. 

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.
