The winning Euromillions ticket numbers were revealed two weeks ago on the August 22 draw,
While there were players who landed life-changing prizes from last draw, a pundit from the London Borough of Haringey is yet to come forward.
Andy Carter from The National Lottery said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life.
“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.”
The wining code was TCMH 10741 and the lucky ticket-holder has until 18 February 2024 to claim their prize.
Mr Carter added: “Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa.
“We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
If no claim is received before the deadline, organisers will donate the prize cash plus all the generated interest to funded projects.
If you think you have a winning ticket, you can check it online, on the National Lottery app or in store.
Players have 180 days from the draw to claim a prize.
Anyone not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who believes they have a genuine claim can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, but it must be within 30 days of the draw.
It comes after a lucky couple revealed how they nearly missed out on a Euromillions jackpot after scooping £100,000.
Kathleen Reece, 41, and husband Mark, 42, landed the whopping sum after matching five numbers and one lucky star in the lottery draw on August 18.
Elsewhere, a mum-of-three scooped an eye-watering £266,666 jackpot after making one simple decision.
Rachel Turley-Salmons, from Wolverhampton, couldn’t believe it when she scooped the whopping Postcode Lottery Draw.
