The number combo means someone in the area has won £3,613,887.
But the winner hasn't come forward and they are just days away from losing it all.
Lotto winners who don't have the ticket have a strict 30 day deadline to claim their prize.
If someone has lost their ticket, they have to submit a claim in writing to The National Lottery before the time runs out.
And the deadline for the June 13 draw ends this week.
If the person who bought the ticket doesn't get in touch by 5pm on Sunday July 13.
But if they still have the ticket, they will have until December 10 to claim the life-changing cash.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners' Advisor at Allwyn, operators of The National Lottery said, 'It's important that any player who is not in possession of their ticket, for whatever reason, but who thinks they have a genuine claim to this prize notifies us in writing by 5pm on Sunday 13 July, 2025 at the latest.
"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.'
He added: 'However, it's important to note that with the winning ticket in their possession, the ticket-holder has until 10 December 2025 to make their claim."
Exact location of winning €250 million ticket revealed
The June 13 draw saw the EuroMillions jackpot at its cap of €250M (£208m).
The prize money which would have boosted the jackpot rolled down to the next prize tier with winners (usually the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number) and increased its value.
This means five Brit ticket-holders won £3.6M for matching the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number.
This includes the yet-to-come-forward ticket-holder in Fife.
What were the winning numbers?
The all-important winning numbers that night were 2, 28, 40, 43, 45 and the Lucky Star numbers were 3 and 7.
Players can check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.
Players can also 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.
Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day
deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email
help@national-lottery.co.uk.
If the ticket has been lost, stolen or destroyed, and Lotto bosses can still pay out.
Their claim will be checked and if they decide it is valid, the cash will be paid out.
If no one comes forward, then the £3.6m will go to National Lottery-funded projects across Britain.

Study to see if Gaelic gives school leavers career advantage
The project will take place this autumn in two phases comprising of group interviews with senior phase (S4-6) pupils in GME across several local authorities and an online survey asking GME school leavers aged 17-25 about the impact GME has had on their career decisions. Read More: In June the Scottish Parliament passed the Scottish Languages Bill, which gives the Gaelic and Scots languages official status in Scotland and includes changes in relation to Gaelic and Scots education. Dr Emma Bolger and Ann Morrison, from UWS will be working with teachers and careers advisers in GME schools and units to gather information from pupils on how they feel Gaelic will benefit them as they move into the world of work. Dr Bolger said, 'We're really excited to start work on this project. The recent Scottish Languages Bill and the discussions it provoked around the Gaelic and Scots languages mean this research is more relevant than ever.' The study is funded by The Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland via a Research Incentive Grant.

Scotch whisky distillery releases 12,300 bottles from rare wine casks
The limited edition single-malt, bottled at 50.7% ABV, is restricted to 12,300 bottles worldwide and will be available from Thursday August 7 via the distillery's website and select independent retailers across the UK. Exports are also planned to key markets including Germany, France and the United States. The whisky has been aged exclusively in Marsala Vergine DOC casks sourced from the Frazzitta winery, one of Sicily's oldest Marsala producers. The winery is known for ageing its wine in traditional oxidative conditions for up to 30 years, giving the casks a dry, nutty, and complex character — closer to a dry sherry than the sweeter Marsala typically used in cooking. Master distiller Alasdair Day (above) said the casks imparted 'an exceptional depth of flavour' to Raasay's lightly peated spirit. 'It's one of the most distinctive cask maturations we've ever released,' he added, citing flavours of baked apples, dried pear, toasted nuts, and a smoky coffee finish. The release also debuts new packaging for the distillery's limited editions, with a design inspired by Raasay's volcanic landscape and fossil-marked geology. The bottle features slate-grey tones and embossed fossil textures as a nod to the island's terrain. Managing director William Dobbie said the redesign aims to give the brand 'a clearer identity' as it expands its portfolio. READ MORE: Media 'giving false impression' Scots care about independence, Tory MP claims 'We've grown rapidly in recent years, and this helps distinguish our limited releases from the core range,' he said. As with all Raasay whiskies, the spirit was distilled, matured and bottled entirely on the island. The distillery uses a mix of peated and unpeated barley, matured separately before being married together to create its signature profile. Founded in 2017, Raasay Distillery has become known for small-batch, experimental releases that aim to reflect the island's character and surroundings. This latest release brings a distinct international influence, combining Scottish craftsmanship with Sicilian wine heritage in an uncommon cask type.

There will also be an adventure trail, an arcade and bowling alley alongside the indoor waterpark. The waterpark itself will have multiple swimming pools and water slides where temperatures will be kept at 29C so it can be used all year round. On the site will also be restaurants, cafés and bars too. The website says that all the amenities will be available for local families to enjoy with day passes. The company behind the proposed waterpark is Great Wolf Resorts which operates 20 indoor water park resorts across the US and Canada. The Great Wolf Resort request states that the 'anticipated start of construction' for the resort has been set for 2028, with an 'expected duration of approximately two years'.
