There are just two weeks left to claim a £10.6million Lotto jackpot, and The National Lottery is urging players to check their tickets. A lottery ticket was purchased in the London Borough of Bexley for the draw on October 4, 2025, matched all six main numbers - 06, 08, 12, 33, 49, 59 to scoop the entire jackpot of £10,633,323.

But it has yet to be claimed. In a bid to unite the rightful ticket-holder with their win, the team from Lotto has taken to the streets of Bexley in a bid to track down the winner.

Armed with a megaphone and spreading the word from a Lotto-styled digi-van, Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Adviser at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said: “We’re calling on players who may have brought a ticket in Bexley for the Lotto draw on Saturday, October 4 last year to check their tickets. Double-check any places you may have stashed your pink ticket – any safe spots, an old wallet or even the pocket of a light jacket you haven’t worn since the autumn.

“Do you live in Bexley or were you in and around the area in the week leading up to the draw? Tell your friends, ask your family, or use it as an excuse to spring clean. I want nothing more than to unite our missing winner with their prize and make them our latest millionaire. It could be you.”

As with all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days to come forward to claim their prizes and the missing multimillionaire has until April 2, 2026 to claim their prize.

Anyone 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 help@national-lottery.co.uk.
