A Kent lottery player who has won £85,000 has yet to claim their lucky ticket.
The owner of the EuroMillions stub - purchased in Thanet for the Bonfire Night draw - has limited time to come forward or risk losing out on the fortune payday.
The mystery winner correctly chose the numbers 1, 8, 19, 37 and 50 and one of the Lucky Star numbers, 6 and 9.
Anyone not in possession of their ticket, but who believes they have won the £84,935.20 prize, can still make a claim in writing to Allwyn, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners Advisor at Allwyn, operators of The National Lottery, said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize.
“If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in Thanet for the draw on 5 November, it’s time to look everywhere - check the pockets of coats you might have been wearing at the time as you might well have been out and about for Bonfire Night celebrations?
“Failing that, check bags, in the car, wallets and purses and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces – anywhere and everywhere you can think of.
“We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket by 4 May 2025, the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk
