THE �101,905 prize from the Lotto draw on Saturday July 23 – which had previously remained outstanding in the Chelmsford area – has now been claimed.

A National Lottery spokesman said: “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.

“It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this substantial and life-enhancing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”

The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 1, 2, 11, 30, 33, 45 and the bonus ball was 39.
