Check those tickets - you could be the mystery winner of £83.4 million ????
- An £83.4 million EuroMillions jackpot remains unclaimed, the largest prize to have been left unclaimed for six days or more
- The winning ticket matched all five main numbers and both Lucky Star numbers
- If unclaimed by February 7, the lottery operator will launch ‘bespoke activity’ to locate the ticket holder

Lottery players are being urged to check their tickets as an £83.4 million EuroMillions jackpot has remained unclaimed for over six days.
That outstanding prize marks the “biggest prize to go unclaimed for six days”, according to a spokesperson for the lottery operator.
The fortunate winner has yet to claim the £83,474,081 prize from the EuroMillions draw on Friday January 24.
The winning ticket was purchased at a shop, Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery confirmed. Though the specific location of the purchase has not been disclosed.
The ticket holder correctly matched all five main numbers - 02, 11, 19, 30, 49 - along with the Lucky Star numbers 03 and 08.
If the prize is still not claimed by next Friday (February 7), Allwyn said it will do “bespoke activity” in the area where the ticket was purchased.
Unclaimed lottery prizes are surprisingly common. With winners typically having up to six months to claim their prize, countless winning tickets remain unnoticed or forgotten.
A life-changing ticket could be hidden in your wallet, lost in a bag or sitting untouched in an online account. Take a moment to check the list below - you could be holding the key to a fortune!
How long do National Lottery winners have to claim their prize?
Winning lottery ticket holders have 180 days (approximately six months) from the draw date to claim the prize.
If a valid claim is not received within this timeframe, the money and any interest earned on it goes to National Lottery Projects across the UK.
How can National Lottery winnings be claimed?
Prize winnings of £500 and under can be claimed in store from a National Lottery retailer - that is, an authorised store or outlet where you can purchase lottery tickets, like newsagents, supermarkets and petrol stations.
Prizes over £500 and up to and including £50,000 can be claimed online. For prizes over £50,000, and monthly prize winnings (Set For Life), winning ticket holders should call the National Lottery on 0333 234 50 50 to confirm and arrange the winning claim.
If your ticket has been damaged or destroyed, you still may be able to make a valid claim, however, an appeal should be filed within 30 days of the draw date.
How to increase your chances of winning the lottery
Let’s be honest: hitting the jackpot isn’t easy. The odds are slim, but there are ways to improve your chances and spend less money while pursuing that life-changing prize.
Lottery syndicates have been popular for as long as the draws themselves - and for good reason. By pooling resources with others, you can boost your odds of winning.
Sure, you’ll have to share the prize, but when it’s a £100 million EuroMillions jackpot, does that really matter?
This is the clever ethos behind Lotto Social, an online syndicate anyone can join in. Not everyone will have a syndicate at work, or in a pub, or a sports club, so this opens the opportunities up to the wider public.
With its simple online platform, Lotto Social unlocks far more opportunities for wins, whether they are big wins or small wins, by increasing the number of entries you're getting.
It’s completely free to join, so you're in control of how much you're spending, and you choose the syndicates you join, and the prizes you're hoping for. You can even opt in to international lotteries to increase your chances of a win even further.
