A lucky lotto winner near Glasgow is yet to claim their huge £1million winning ticket.

The National Lottery is on the hunt for a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker winner who is sitting on the massive prize in North Lanarkshire.

The competition guarantees to create a millionaire every time, however, the lucky winner from the draw on Saturday, February 16, is yet to claim their prize.

Now, players in North Lanarkshire are being urged to check and double-check their unique EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker code for the chance to become an 'instant millionaire'.

The winning code from the draw was HQPC 98478 and the ticket-holder has until August 14, 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 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 EuroMillions ticket in North Lanarkshire for the draw on February 16, it’s time to look everywhere - in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, 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. 

“Do you live or work in this area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through?

"We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket holder and pay out their life-changing prize - imagine the possibilities for them!

"We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
