A lucky EuroMillions player who won a £1 million prize with a ticket purchased in Wiltshire on December 27, 2024, has yet to come forward. The ticket’s unique UK Millionaire Maker code, XDQM 36414, remains unclaimed, and the deadline to claim the prize is quickly approaching on Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
Players who took part in the EuroMillions draw that day automatically received a Millionaire Maker code on their tickets. Organisers are urging everyone who played to carefully check their tickets, pockets, and even coat linings—especially given the chilly winter weather when the ticket was bought.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, emphasises the urgency: “We have not yet heard from the rightful winner despite numerous appeals. However, there is still time—one month remains for the ticket-holder to come forward. We’ve seen claims arrive right up to the final moments in the past, but time is running out.”

Players can verify their tickets easily by downloading the National Lottery app, visiting national-lottery.co.uk, or by checking at retail locations. The app offers ticket scanning and prize notifications, making it easier than ever to discover if you have won.
Remember, lottery prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing date, and if the prize remains unclaimed past the deadline, the money and any accrued interest will be redirected to support National Lottery-funded projects throughout the UK.
If you played EuroMillions on December 27, 2024, or know someone who did in the Wiltshire area, now is the moment to double-check every ticket and coat pocket. That five-minute check could change your life forever.
