A £1 million EuroMillions prize remains unclaimed from a ticket purchased in Wiltshire just after Christmas, with lottery officials now urgently searching for the mystery winner.
The lucky ticket-holder, who won in the UK Millionaire Maker draw on December 27, 2024, has yet to come forward to claim their life-changing prize.
The National Lottery is calling on players in Wiltshire to check their tickets carefully, as the winner has until June 25, 2025 to claim their million-pound windfall.
The winning code for the unclaimed prize is XDQM 36414, with every EuroMillions line played automatically receiving a UK Millionaire Maker code.

Players in the Wiltshire area are being urged to thoroughly search for their tickets from the December draw, particularly if they were in the area during the festive period.
The £1m prize must be claimed by June 25, 2025, giving the winner just over five months to come forward.
For those who believe they may have won but cannot locate their ticket, there are still options available through the National Lottery.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “We were all extra busy over Christmas, whether you were celebrating or working, and it would have been easy to forget about a bought ticket in the holiday rush.”
“If you bought a EuroMillions ticket in Wiltshire for the draw on 27 December, it’s time to look everywhere – in the pockets of clothes you might have been wearing at the time, bags, in the car, wallets and purses and in that sideboard or drawer where we all tend to put bits and pieces – and check your tickets,” he added.
“We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and pay out their life-changing prize – imagine the possibilities for them!”
Players can check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or visiting national-lottery.co.uk, with retail outlets also offering ticket verification services.
Those who play online receive automatic email notifications if they win, while retail tickets can be scanned using the National Lottery app.
If the prize remains unclaimed after the deadline, the £1m plus accumulated interest will be allocated to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes.
