PAAndy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: "It’s been around five months since the special EuroMillions draw in question, and we’ve already been able to pay out nine of the ten £1,000,000 prizes won by lucky National Lottery players in the draw.
“However, we’ve not yet been contacted by this last remaining winner, who bought their winning ticket in Northumberland, despite numerous appeals.”
"While there is still time there is still hope - we’ve received valid claims on major National Lottery unclaimed prizes right up to the very last minute before - but time is running out fast.
“Our appeal is simple, take five minutes out of your day to dig out and check your EuroMillions tickets.

“Those five minutes could be the most profitable five minutes of your life!
“We are ready and waiting for that life-changing phone call to come in to us here at The National Lottery."
Carter continued: "One of the lucky 10 winning ticket-holders who has already claimed their £1,000,000 prize from this special EuroMillions draw is Ceri Ann Roscoe-Roberts and husband, Paul, from Bangor in north Wales.
“Ceri woke up on the Friday morning of the draw with the strongest and strangest feeling that she had to buy a National Lottery ticket.
“Twenty-four hours later, she was celebrating becoming a millionaire.”
