The National Lottery and its operator, Allwyn, have issued an urgent pre-Christmas plea to players across the UK. They have revealed details of six significant prizes that remain unclaimed, with winners potentially missing out on life-changing sums of money.
Major Prizes at Risk of Being Lost Forever
All unclaimed prizes are at risk of being lost if valid claims are not made within the 180-day deadline. Any prize money not claimed within this period, along with accrued interest, is redirected to fund National Lottery Projects throughout the United Kingdom. The lottery operator updated its list of unclaimed winnings on 18 November 2025, urging anyone who believes they may have a winning ticket to come forward immediately.
Details of the Six Unclaimed Wins
The list features a mix of high-value jackpots and substantial rewards from various draws. Here are the specific prizes that need to be claimed:
1. Euromillions, £1 Million (Birmingham): From the draw on 15 August 2025 (draw number 1868). The winning code is VLPL28287. The claim deadline is 11 February 2026.
2. Lotto Jackpot, £10 Million (Bexley): Won on 4 October 2025 by matching all six main numbers. The winning numbers were 6, 8, 12, 33, 49, 59, and the Bonus Ball was 42. Players have until 2 April 2026 to claim this massive jackpot.
3. Euromillions UK Millionaire Maker, £1 Million (Broxbourne): A Halloween win from 31 October 2025 (draw 1890). The lucky ticket holder must come forward by 29 April 2026.

Don't Let Your Fortune Slip Away
The National Lottery is encouraging all players to double-check old tickets, especially those from the dates mentioned. With deadlines looming in early 2026, there is still time for the rightful winners to secure their fortunes. Failing to claim in time means the money will permanently benefit National Lottery-funded community and sports projects, a worthy cause but a personal loss for the ticket holder. If you suspect you might be holding one of these winning tickets, visit the National Lottery website immediately to start the claims process.
