Shortly after the win in August, lottery officials issued an appeal to locate the winner and unite them with their prize.The appeal was a success as the lucky individual has now come forward although no further details about the winner will be released unless they decide to go public.
This story highlights how important it is to remember to check your tickets. The best way to make sure you never miss out on a win is to buy your lottery tickets online as your tickets are stored safely in your online account, automatically checked after every draw and you will be notified by email of any win.
