Overview
- The £177,547.30 prize comes from the EuroMillions draw on January 16, 2026 and the winning ticket was sold in Watford but remains unclaimed.
- Allwyn, the National Lottery operator, says it has searched for the winner for more than five months and has launched an urgent local appeal with one week left to claim the prize.
- The published winning numbers — 5, 17, 24, 29, 50 with Lucky Stars 5 and 10 — are being circulated so people can check slips from that draw.
- Officials ask residents to search common hiding places such as wallets, drawers, coat pockets and car gloveboxes and to tell friends or family who may have played in January.
- If no valid claim arrives before the July 15 deadline, the prize and any interest will be redirected to projects funded by the National Lottery, and anyone who thinks they hold the ticket can contact the National Lottery line or email for next steps.
