Summarised from Belfast Live's report · Updated 27 Oct, 20:38 · Archive

A National Lottery ticket-holder in County Armagh has won £1million and must claim by 12 April 2027.

A lottery player in County Armagh won £1million in the draw on 14 October 2026 but has not yet claimed their prize. The winning numbers were 5, 6, 21, 32, 36, 37 and the Bonus Ball was 59. The ticket-holder must claim before midnight on 12 April 2027.

Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, has urged all players to check their tickets. Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn, said the winner could be 'completely unaware' of their prize and may have tucked the ticket away in a coat pocket or drawer. He encouraged players to check their own tickets and tell friends, family and neighbours to do the same.

If the prize remains unclaimed after the deadline, the money plus all interest generated will go to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK. Players who do not have their physical ticket but believe they have a genuine claim can make a written claim to Allwyn within 30 days of the draw.
