The draw took place on April 24 this year but has remained unclaimed for more than 180 days.
The ticket-holder bought their Set For Life ticket in the Bridgend county borough and the deadline for the ticket-holder to claim their prize was at midnight on October 21, 2023.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, 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 substantial amount of money.
“However, the money will now add to the £30million raised each week for National Lottery-funded projects.
“Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.
“Players can also buy and check tickets in retail. Playing online via the app or website means that your ticket is checked, and you get an email notification if you win a prize. You can also scan your retail tickets on the National Lottery app to check if you’re a winner.”
With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.
All prizes that do not receive a valid claim after 180 days, and any interest they have earned, add to the £30m raised each week for National Lottery-funded projects.
This money helps fund projects across the nation, with over 670,000 grants – supporting projects both big and small – having been made across the UK to date and over £47billion having been raised for National Lottery good causes.
The Set for Life game offers a top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years when the five main numbers and the Life Ball are matched.
Players can also win £10,000 a month for a whole year by matching the five main numbers.
