Time is running out for the lucky winner of a £10.6 million Lotto jackpot to come forward. The National Lottery is urging individuals to check their tickets as the winning ticket, 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, securing the entire jackpot of £10,633,323.
Despite the win, the prize remains unclaimed. In an effort to locate the rightful winner, the Lotto team has hit the streets of Bexley, using a megaphone and a Lotto-themed digi-van to spread the word. Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Adviser at Allwyn, the operator of The National Lottery, emphasized the importance of checking tickets: “We urge anyone who purchased a ticket in Bexley for the Lotto draw on October 4 last year to thoroughly search for their ticket. Revisit any potential hiding spots for your ticket – whether it’s a safe place, an old wallet, or the pocket of a jacket you haven’t worn in a while.”
“Do you reside in Bexley or were you in the vicinity around the time of the draw? Spread the word to your acquaintances, involve your family, or take this opportunity to declutter. Our goal is to reunite the missing winner with their prize and transform them into a millionaire. The lucky person could be you.”
Similar to all National Lottery draws, winners have 180 days to claim their prizes, and the unclaimed jackpot winner has until April 2, 2026, to come forward and collect their prize.
Individuals who believe they hold the winning ticket for any National Lottery draw within the 180-day deadline are advised to contact the National Lottery Line at 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk.
