after an appeal by the National Lottery<\/a>, the millionaire-to-be has now come forward to claim the life-changing prize, four months after the draw. <\/p>\n“This lucky winner has spent the last four months completely unaware they were sitting on a life-changing sum of money,” Andy Carter, senior winner’s advisor at Allwyn, operator of The National Lottery, said. <\/p>\n
“Then, almost overnight, everything changes.”<\/p>\n
“We are delighted that the winner has come forward to claim their prize,” he added. <\/p>\n
“It’s a moment that will stay with them forever and we’re excited to support them as they begin this next chapter.”<\/p>\n
The winner has remained anonymous while the claim is validated and will then decide whether to go public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The owner of a \u00a31m lottery ticket bought in Greater Manchester has come forward to claim the prize.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":819132,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-819131","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819131","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819131"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819131\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/819132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819131"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819131"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819131"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
