There's an unclaimed Euromillions prize and the deadline is running out

Postal do Algarve14 September 2026 at 19:50

A prize of 365,868.20 pounds (more than 427,000 euros) from Euromillions remains unclaimed in Birmingham, England. The winning ticket corresponds to the Tuesday draw, August 25, and matched the five main numbers (8, 16, 30, 47 and 48) and one star (4), guaranteeing the second prize. There is a single winner registered in that category in the United Kingdom.

The deadline to claim the prize extends until February 21, 2027, as indicated on the unclaimed prizes list on Euro-Millions.com. Andy Carter, responsible for winner follow-up at Allwyn, operator of the British National Lottery, appealed to anyone who bought a ticket in Birmingham for that draw to check their bets.

In the United Kingdom, the National Lottery sets a 180-day deadline after the draw to claim prizes. If the prize is not claimed within the applicable deadline, the money and generated interest revert to projects supported by the organization in the country.

In Portugal, the deadlines are different. According to Santa Casa Jogos, the right to the prize expires after 90 days from the date of the draw. The Birmingham case is subject to British rules, since the bet was placed in the United Kingdom.

Why this matters

The article directly informs readers who may have purchased Euromillions tickets in the United Kingdom to check their numbers, warning about the approaching claim deadline. It also includes the explanation that, in Portugal, the deadline to claim prizes is only 90 days, useful information for national bettors.

Autumn is coming: here are the care tips for your snake plant

With the arrival of autumn, the snake plant needs adjusted care, mainly regarding watering, which should be reduced as growth slows down and the soil takes longer to dry out. Specialist Rachel Bull recommends checking substrate moisture with your finger before watering, ensuring good drainage without water pooling in saucers, adjusting light exposure as the days grow shorter, reducing and stopping fertilisation, and protecting the plant from cold drafts and heaters, keeping it within a temperature range of 15 to 24 degrees.
