National Lottery winner risks missing out on life-changing jackpot win after failing to claim £1million prize

A lottery player in Northern Ireland is sitting on a £1million windfall without realising it. A EuroMillions Millionaire Maker prize from April 24, 2026, draw remains uncollected. The National Lottery has confirmed the winning ticket was purchased somewhere in County Tyrone. Now the organisation is appealing for the mystery ticket holder to come forward. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say The EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker raffle automatically generates a unique code for every line played, with one code selected each draw to win the seven-figure sum. The code that scooped this particular prize is MBGT03608 and the holder has yet to make contact with lottery operator Allwyn. Andy Carter, Senior Winners Advisor at Allwyn, is urging people across Northern Ireland to hunt through their tickets. "A lucky EuroMillions player is the winner of a life-changing £1,000,000 and doesn't even know it," he said. "We are on a mission to unite our lucky winner with their million-pound prize and are asking players to check their tickets." Mr Carter is casting a wide net in the search, asking: "Were you in or around County Tyrone in the week leading up to the April 24 draw? "Do you live or work in the area, do you have family and friends there who you were visiting or were you just passing through? "We want to find this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize." The clock is ticking for the unknown winner, who must come forward by October 21, 2026, to collect their prize.
