But in the special draw on July 19, when the winning Northampton ticket was bought, 20 millionaires were made, with 180 days to claim the prize.

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

In the Northampton area, more than 1,000 National Lottery grants have been awarded.
