A potential UK lottery winner may lose out on their prize if they don’t claim it this week.
Euromillions players have been told to check tickets to see if they have scooped the £1 million Millionaire Maker jackpot.
The winning ticket, with a code of VSHS38986, was purchased from a store in Lewisham, south London, in January.
Time is ticking to claim the prize as the six-month deadline for coming forward is Wednesday.
The highest ever UK winner claimed a jackpot of £170 million in October 2019, but chose to stay anonymous.
Colin Weir and wife Chris, from Largs in North Ayrshire, claimed the second highest prize – £161 million – in July 2011.
The couple set up the Weir Charitable Trust and made a donation to a community football club in Largs before Mr Weir’s death in 2019 after a short illness.
Adrian and Gillian Bayford, from Suffolk, took home more than £148 million in August 2012 and the fourth highest UK winner – who took home £123 million – also remained anonymous.
The highest amount ever won on EuroMillions remains at £180m, which was taken home by a Swiss player in February this year.
