AN amazing Lotto prize of £129,148 has yet to be claimed in Chelmsford.
National Lottery players are being urged to check and double-check their tickets for the chance to claim this life-enhancing prize.
The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket, bought in Chelmsford, who matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Saturday July 27.
The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 12, 13, 18, 39, 43, 49 and the bonus ball was 37. The lucky ticket-holder has until January 23, 2014 to claim their prize.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to The National Lottery Good Causes.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.
“We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.
