A lottery ticket bought last year which resulted in a £1million win has seen the prize claimed just hours before the money was bout to be given away. Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, said it has received a claim for the £1,000,000 EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker prize from a ticket bought in the Borough of Hertsmere for the special EuroMillions draw on 4 November 2022.
EuroMillions Millionaire Maker guarantees to create a millionaire in every draw but in the special EuroMillions draw on 4 November last year, 20 guaranteed UK millionaires were created. With this ticket-holder now having come forward at the very last minute and with hours to spare, all 20 prizes from the draw have now been claimed, meaning that 20 new millionaires have been created.
As with all major prizes, the claim will now go through the process of validation, which includes checks to ensure the Games Rules Terms and Conditions are adhered to and the integrity of The National Lottery is protected. Subject to validation the prize will then be paid at an appointment with one of Camelot’s Winners’ Advisers.
