Someone in Britain has won a EuroMillions jackpot worth a staggering £51.7m. The problem is, they don’t seem to know it.

A week after the draw, the National Lottery has launched an appeal to find the mystery winner.

They’re urging anyone who played EuroMillions on Friday 28 July to check their tickets for the magic numbers: 5, 9, 29, 31, 41 and Lucky Stars 2 and 4.

If someone does come forward to claim the life-changing prize, the £51,702,049 would put them in the same league as singer Ed Sheeran and Real Madrid star Gareth Bale according to the Sunday Times rich list.

The ticket holder has 173 days to claim the prize before the money is given to good causes instead. National Lottery organiser Camelot says tens of millions of pounds go unclaimed each year due to lost or forgotten tickets.

The latest win continues a run of good fortune for Brits playing EuroMillions, with three other big winners this year including an £87m jackpot in June.
