A National Lottery player could be sitting on a life-changing £12 million jackpot — and may not even know it yet.
Lottery officials are urging players to check their tickets after a winning Lotto ticket from the June 6 draw remains unclaimed. The ticket was purchased in Rhondda Cynon Taf and matched all six winning numbers: 08, 10, 26, 30, 35, and 42.
Key Details
- 💰 Unclaimed jackpot: £12 million
- 🎟️ Draw date: June 6
- 📍 Ticket bought in Rhondda Cynon Taf
- ⏳ Claim deadline: December 3
Lottery representatives say they are eager to connect the lucky winner with the massive prize before the deadline passes.
Wales has seen its share of remarkable lottery success stories over the years. Among the most memorable winners:
- 🌍 Sandra Fosbrooke and Ken Henry won £12.8 million in 2005 and used the money to travel the world while helping family members.
- 🏆 Les Scadding and Samantha Peachey-Scadding landed a £45.5 million jackpot in 2009. Scadding had been unemployed and was overdrawn in his bank account when he bought the winning ticket.
- 🍀 A Monmouth family won a staggering £61 million EuroMillions prize in 2016 after a lucky hunch led to the ticket purchase.
- 👏 Earlier this year, 15 former Tata Steel finance workers in Port Talbot shared a £1 million prize, with plans ranging from paying off mortgages to taking dream vacations.
Lottery officials are encouraging everyone who played the June 6 draw to take another look at their tickets. A prize of this size could transform not only the winner’s life, but also provide opportunities to support loved ones and charitable causes.
Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their winnings. Any prize money left unclaimed after that period is redirected to projects supported by National Lottery funding.
For now, the £12 million jackpot remains up for grabs — and the winner could be holding the ticket without even realizing it.
