as players told to check their tickets
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
LOTTERY players are being urged to check their tickets as an impressive £5.3 million jackpot is yet to be claimed.
The National Lottery revealed that the £5,355,727 prize from the draw on April 13, 2022, was from a ticket bought online.
As well as the one lucky winner scooping the massive jackpot prize, there was also one lucky ticket-holder who matched five main numbers and the Bonus Ball to win £1,000,000 in the same draw.
This prize has now been claimed.
Camelot’s Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What a sensational start to the summer it could be for the lucky multi-millionaire who has maybe yet to realise it!
"Imagine what you could do with just over £5,000,000 - a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, a dream pad or treating your nearest and dearest, and a lot else besides!”
Once a ticket-holder has called Camelot and the claim has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public and share their news.
There will be no information on whether it is an individual or syndicate winner unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.
Players are being urged to log into their National Lottery account or via the National Lottery app to see if they are the missing Lotto multi-millionaire.
They have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.
