The
EuroMillions ticket for the 8 June draw was bought in the Stevenage or Hitchin
area of Hertfordshire.
The
missing ticket-holder matched all five numbers - 5, 11, 22, 34 and 40 - and the
Lucky Star numbers - 9 and 11.
The
deadline to claim the money was 23:00 GMT on Wednesday. It is the biggest
unclaimed lottery win in history.
A
National Lottery spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the
ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and
has now sadly missed out on this staggering amount of money.
"The
vast majority of prizes are claimed within the 180 days but to avoid this
unfortunate situation happening again, we would urge all National Lottery
players to check their tickets on a regular basis."
The
money, and the interest it has generated, will go to the National Lottery Good
Causes.
