There are nine new millionaires in the UK who still haven't claimed their lottery prizes - and the £33 million jackpot winner still hasn't come forward either.

Once two weeks have passed since the draw last Saturday, Camelot will release details of the area where the big ticket was bought.

But the clock is already ticking, as the winner only has 180 days from the date of the draw to claim the prize.

A Camelot spokesman said there could be "a million reasons" why the winner has not come forward yet.

"A lot of times, the winner will tell us they just didn't get around to checking the ticket, usually because of some event like moving house, going on holiday.

"But this particular situation is highly unusual because there was so much hype and excitement around this particular draw.

"Whoever it is has gone into a shop and paid their money knowing the amount at stake.

"There's someone out there somewhere in the UK who has won £33m.

"That's all we know."

A list on the National Lottery website shows there are also nine £1m cheques waiting for Lotto and EuroMillions winners to come forward, as well as luxury holidays and various other significant amounts of money.

Husband and wife David and Carol Martin, both 54, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders were the first winners of the massive Saturday jackpot.

They say they bought the ticket in a Morrisons supermarket and only checked it on Sunday.

The happy couple say they have been calling in sick to work since winning the staggering £33m but finally spoke to their employers yesterday morning and told them of the win.

The first person they told was their daughter, who is currently in Australia, and the first thing they will buy is a first-class ticket for their daughter to come home.
