Winning National Lottery ticket worth £1m unclaimed in Bromley
A National Lottery prize worth £1,000,000 has yet to be claimed from a ticket bought in Bromley.
The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket, who matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in the Lotto draw on August 31.
The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 2, 3, 29, 45, 48, 52 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
The lucky ticket-holder has until February 27, 2025, 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 The National Lottery, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery said: “If you bought a Lotto ticket in Bromley for the draw on August 31, it’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, in bags, in the car, wallets and purses and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces – and check your tickets.
“We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize – imagine the possibilities for them!”
Players can 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.
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.
With over 690,000 grants having been made across the UK, this money supports everything from arts to the sport sectors.
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 emailhelp@national-lottery.co.uk.
