A UK Lotto jackpot winner has yet to claim
their £2.5 million fortune some four weeks
after their numbers came up on Wednesday 15
November. The unknown winner bought their ticket
in the Tunbridge Wells area, and their winning
numbers were 2, 3, 17, 22, 40 and 42.
All Lotto players have 180 days to claim their
prizes. If no claim has been made by then, any
winnings due are automatically transferred to
the Good Cause fund, which has raised over £19
billion since the UK National Lottery was first
launched in 1994. This means that the mystery
winner with the Tunbridge Wells ticket has until
5:30pm on 14 May 2007 to come forward, or they
will miss out on their £2,543,170.
"We're desperate to find this mystery
ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings,"
a National Lottery spokesperson said. "This
life-changing prize could really help to make
this Christmas one to remember. We're urging
everyone to check their old tickets again or
look anywhere a missing Lotto ticket could be
hiding.
"Try checking in the pockets of clothing,
in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa
- someone out there could literally be sitting
on a fortune! We have the champagne on ice and
our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes
forward to claim their win."
If you are a resident of Tunbridge Wells, or
you were in the area and purchased a ticket
there for the 15 November draw (remember, you
may have bought a ticket to play for several
draws at a time) you should check through your
numbers as soon as you can. It could be that
you're sitting on a £2.5 million lottery
fortune and you just don't know it yet!
