The winner made their fortune as part of EuroMillions' UK Millionaire Maker. The winning code is ZMFD00211. LONDONER'S UNKNOWN WIN And it's not the only unclaimed jackpot waiting for its rightful owner. No one has yet come forward after a £4.1m win earlier this month. The ticket-holder scooped a £4,101,869 jackpot by matching all six main numbers. Camelot's Andy Carter of The National Lottery said the Lotto prize will change the winner's life. ...We're asking Lotto players to check their tickets as this could be a life-changing win for the lucky ticket-holder,... he said.
