The quest is underway to find a fortunate millionaire from the National Lottery on Friday the 13th in Hartlepool. An unclaimed £1 million EuroMillions ticket purchased in the coastal town is waiting to be discovered, prompting players to check their possessions for the chance to secure a life-altering sum. The EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker ensures the creation of a millionaire in every draw, with the promise of enriching 13 individuals in the March 13 draw.
The winning ticket bears the code JLZG97793, and the ticket-holder has until September 9, 2026, to claim the prize. Those who do not have their ticket but believe they have a valid claim can submit a claim in writing to Lottery operator Allwyn within 30 days of the draw.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners Advisor, emphasized, “If you participated in our special EuroMillions draw on Friday, March 13, you might be holding a life-changing fortune without realizing it. Despite the superstition surrounding the number 13, we aim to transform this date into someone’s luckiest day by encouraging the public to verify their tickets.”
Carter added, “Search your belongings thoroughly, from bags and wallets to coats and purses. Reflect on that draw from a few weeks ago. Could the ticket be tucked away in a winter coat now that spring has arrived? A lucky individual in Hartlepool is now a millionaire, and our goal is to reunite them with their winnings.”
In the event that no one steps forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, the prize money and accrued interest will be allocated to assist National Lottery-funded projects throughout the UK. Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize for all National Lottery draws. For inquiries or claims related to winning tickets within the 180-day timeframe, individuals can contact the National Lottery Line at 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk.
Each week, players contribute approximately £33 million to National Lottery-funded projects, totaling over £53 billion raised for Good Causes since inception. These funds support numerous projects across the UK, spanning arts, sports, local community empowerment, and the preservation of iconic British landmarks, showcasing the impact of players’ engagement on a daily basis.
