National Lottery has urged the winner to phone them on 0333 234 5050 or to email help@national-lottery.co.uk.
Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said:
“We are rapidly approaching the deadline to claim this amazing EuroMillions prize, but we’ve not yet been contacted by the rightful ticketholder to claim their money, despite numerous appeals.
“There is still time though, but there are just days left for this ticketholder to get in touch.
“We’ve received valid claims on major National Lottery unclaimed prizes right up to the very last minute before.
“All that we ask is for all EuroMillions players in the area, and those who might have visited family and friends in Wiltshire over the festive season, to take some time out of their day to have a search and check their tickets.
“That five minutes out of your day could end up making you a millionaire.”
The news comes after one motorbiking couple won a staggering £4 million in the National Lottery.
Jon Warring and his wife Lucy are planning to use the cash to buy a Harley Davidson trike, as well as a new family home – which will come complete with a music room.
Jon said: “This will be the perfect place to display the family’s guitar collection – and potentially add to it too.
“As a family, we love rock music and now the world really is our oyster – we hope to get the chance to attend gigs up and down the country.
“This win will just enable us all to slow down, enjoy life – and of course hit that road on the sunny days ahead on our new trike.”
