Appeal for £1m Co Tyrone Euromillions winner to come forward

Lottery players in County Tyrone have been urged to check their Euromillions tickets as a £1m winner has yet to claim their prize.

The prize relates to the Euromillions UK Million Maker raffle, which sees a unique code printed on each Euromillions ticket and the recipient of the winning code each week taking home £1m.

For the draw on April 24, the winning code was MBGT03608 and the ticket was bought in Co Tyrone, but the lucky winner has yet to claim their prize.

They have until October 21 to come forward. 

Anyone not in possession of their ticket, but who believes they may be the winner can still make a claim in writing to Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.

Allwyn’s Andy Carter said: “A lucky Euromillions player is the winner of a life-changing £1,000,000 and doesn’t even know it. 

“We are on a mission to unite our lucky winner with their million-pound prize and are asking players to check their tickets.

“Were you in or around County Tyrone in the week leading up to the 24 April draw? Do you live or work in the area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through?  

“We want to find this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize.

“If no one comes forward before the claim deadline, the prize money goes towards National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.”
