National Lottery, available on its website, shows that 12 EuroMillions £1 million prizes are still unclaimed, some of which date back to November 2021.And there are also two Set For Life winners, who stand to win £10,000 every month for one year.The locations of the £1 million prizes show that tickets were bought in Portsmouth, Breckland District, North Tyneside, Dudley, Doncaster, Hinkley and Bosworth, Rochdale, Gwent, Ealing, New Forest and Trafford.And the Set For Life winners bought tickets in West Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire.There is also one EuroMillions winner of a tidy sum of £134,762.50 who bought their ticket in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.The big prizes listed have either not been claimed, or have not yet been validated and paid – and you only have 180 days from the draw date to claim them.During that time, any interest earned on the money held by the National Lottery will go to benefit National Lottery Projects across the UK.Earlier this month, one £1 million winner, Sandy Doyle, took her winnings on a wild trip to Las Vegas after quitting her job to retire.Having won it on a National Lottery scratch card, she said: “I didn’t retire to swan about living the millionaire life.“I help care for my father, and that was always a juggle with work, now thanks to this amazing win I will have more time to cherish precious moments with him.""When I revealed the £1MIL sign on the first Match A Million, I didn’t believe it so I put it to one side, and played the other.

I saw I had won £10 on that scratchcard, which I did believe!"I then looked back at the other one, rubbed my eyes and signed the back just in case.
