The winning numbers from the draw, which took place on August 19, were 4, 8, 10, 17, 23, 28 and the Bonus Ball was 16. Anyone no longer in possession of their ticket can still make a claim to Allwyn, but it must be within 30 days of the draw – which is this Friday (September 18). However, prize-holders that have managed to hold on to their ticket have until February 15, 2027 to claim this life-changing amount of money. Toby Moxham, head of winners’ services at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “Just imagine discovering that a ticket you bought weeks ago is worth seven figures. That’s exactly what could happen for a Lotto player in the London Borough of Richmond. “Speak to your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours – we believe we can find our missing winner, but we need the public to help us.” Those who believe they could be the mystery millionaire have been told to call the National Lottery line or email the company to make their claim.
