THE clock is ticking for a mystery £1 million lottery winner.

The owner of a EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker ticket has just one week to claim their prize.

The ticket was bought in the Crawley area for the draw on June 2 this year.

The winning code was HQGT 61980.

The claim must be made by November 29 and people are being urged to check and double-check their tickets one last time.

National lottery senior winners adviser Andy Carter said: “This life-changing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there.”

If no one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

Every week EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker guarantees to create four millionaires – two on Tuesday and two on Friday.

The National Lottery changes the lives of individuals and communities.

In Crawley more than 220 grants have been awarded to projects across the arts, sports, heritage, health, education, environment, charity and voluntary sectors.
