The deadline for claiming a major lottery prize in the UK is approaching: the winner of the October 4, 2025, draw has yet to come forward. The winner matched all six numbers and won 10,6 million pounds sterling (over 14 million USD), but apparently remains unaware of their success.

According to the UK National Lottery rules, prize winners have 180 days to claim their prize. The deadline is April 2, 2026, after which no prize can be paid out.

Organizers determined that the winning ticket was purchased in the London borough of Bexley. Lottery representatives launched a search campaign on the streets of the borough, using a megaphone and a branded van to locate the ticket owner.

The Daily Mirror was the first to report the situation.
