The only clue to the winner’s identity was the ticket was bought “somewhere in Northamptonshire.”
Camelot’s Andy Carter 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 more than £30 million raised each week for National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
