Overview

  • Four UK winners of Euromillones El Millón prizes have yet to claim their €1 million rewards, with deadlines fast approaching.
  • Two winners, from London and Winchester, must claim their prizes by the end of May to avoid forfeiture.
  • A Wiltshire winner from December's draw faces a June 25 deadline, while a Liverpool winner from February's draw has until August.
  • Spain and other European countries differ in claim periods, with Spain allowing three months, France and Luxembourg just 60 days, and Austria up to three years.
  • Unclaimed lottery prizes typically revert to state funds or are added to future jackpots after the claim window closes.
