CHECK TO SEE IF YOU’RE RICH IN RICHMOND……
A National Lottery player in the Richmond upon Thames Borough could be sitting on a fortune with an unclaimed ticket worth ONE MILLION POUNDS.
National Lottery players are encouraged to check their tickets for the Lotto draw on Wednesday 19 August bought from a retailer in Richmond upon Thames that matched five main numbers plus the Bonus Ball in the second round to scoop the seven-figure prize.
The winning numbers from the draw were 4, 8, 10, 17, 23, 28 and the Bonus Ball was 16.
Whether you live in the Richmond area or were perhaps visiting the famous Royal Park when you bought your lucky Lotto ticket, now is the time to check your ticket.
The winner has until 15 February 2027 to come forward and claim their prize.
The winner joins a growing list of newly created Lotto millionaires as the game enters a new era of millionaire-making.
New Lotto is now making more millionaires than ever before with the new draw format set to create hundreds more millionaires each year, expected to go from around 140 a year to approximately 345.
Andy Carter, Senior Winner’s Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Imagine discovering that a ticket you bought weeks ago is worth £1 million.
“That’s exactly what could happen for a Lotto player in the London Borough of Richmond.
“We’re encouraging everyone who bought a ticket in the area to give it another check. Tell your friends, family, colleagues, even the postman.
“Creating millionaires is one of the most exciting parts of the job, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with the lucky winner when they come forward.
”It could be you.”
The ticket-holder has until 15 February 2027 to claim their prize. However, anyone not in possessio of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Allwyn, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.
