Million pound Lottery ticket bought in Fenland remains unclaimed - could you be a Millionaire?

The hunt is on for a missing Lotto winner in Fenland who has scooped a £1M prize and may not even know it.

The lucky player purchased their winning Lotto ticket for the draw on Saturday 17 October 2026, with the winning ticket matching the five main numbers and the Bonus Ball in Round 2 to win the life-changing prize.

The winning numbers were 4, 9, 15, 32, 38, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 2 and the missing ticket-holder has until midnight on 15 April 2027, to claim their prize.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery said, "Making millionaires is what we do best, so when a prize goes unclaimed, we do everything we can to track down our missing winner.

"Somewhere in Fenland District, Cambridgeshire there is a £1M winning Lotto ticket waiting to be checked and we want nothing more than to find the owner of this life-changing prize.

"If you bought a ticket from a shop for the 17 October draw, please check your tickets. Do you have a pile stashed in the glove box of your car or a kitchen drawer, waiting to be checked? This is your reminder to do it today – it could be you.

"Even if you didn’t play yourself, spread the word. Tell friends, family and colleagues and help us track down the winner.”

Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Allwyn, but it must be within 30 days of the draw. 

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

As with all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days to come forward to claim their prizes and the missing millionaire has until 15 April 2027 to claim. Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email [email protected].
