The whopping jackpots were won as part of the special EuroMillions European Millionaire Maker event.
This saw organisers guarantee 100 lucky winners would rake in a £1 million windfall across the continent.
The National Lottery is now urging the remaining UK winners to come forward.
Andy Carter, the organisation’s Senior Winners’ Advisor, said: “We will now start to support the 20 ticket-holders who have come forward to claim their prize but we are also very keen to find the yet-to-claim 11 winners.
“They could be sitting on £1M and not even know it!
“We’re urging National Lottery players to check their tickets and their emails, if they played online, to see if they have some amazing news. What an incredible surprise it would be to realise you’ve started 2023 as a millionaire.”
Players can check tickets online or on the National Lottery app.
Those who played online should receive an email notification if they have been successful.
Tickets can also be checked in stores selling lottery tickets.
On February 9, the method by which the remaining winning tickets were purchased will be released.
Two weeks after the draw, organisers will reveal where any remaining tickets bought in store were purchased.
Players have 180 from the date of the draw to claim the prize or it is donated to the National Lottery’s charitable work.
