Hunt for unclaimed £125k EuroMillions ticket bought on island

A £125,271 prize won on a EuroMillions ticket bought on the Isle of Man remains unclaimed.

The ticket, bought for the draw on 31 March, matched the five winning numbers of 5, 8, 10, 33, 38, as well as one of the Lucky Star numbers, which were 2 and 7.

The ticket-holder has until 27 September to claim the prize.

Andy Carter, senior winners advisor at The National Lottery operator Allwyn, said a Manx resident - or someone visiting the island when the ticket was bought - had "had an incredible win and they don't even know it".

"A six-figure win is truly life-changing - just imagine having an extra £125k in your bank account," he said.

Urging people to "check your tickets", he said: "Tell your friends, ask your family - we want to unite our lucky winner with their incredible prize."

Winners of prizes have 180 days to make a claim, with any unclaimed funds put towards National Lottery-funded projects.
