National Lottery bosses are searching for the owner of a £1million winning ticket bought in Glasgow which has not yet been claimed.

The Lotto Millionaire Raffle winner scooped the prize on the Lotto draw on January 20 but has not yet come forward to collect the cash.

Players in Glasgow are being urged to check and double-check their unique Lotto Millionaire Raffle code for the chance to become an instant millionaire.

For every Lotto line played, players automatically receive a Lotto Millionaire Raffle code printed on their ticket.

The winning code on 20 January, 2016 was NAVY 3903 3904 and the lucky ticket-holder has until July 18 to claim their prize.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re eager to find the 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 Lotto ticket in this area to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing 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.”

To help jog Lotto players’ memories about what was happening around the date of the draw in question Glasgow football clubs, Celtic and Rangers, were in action. While The Bhoys thrashed Hamilton 8-1 on Tuesday 19 January in the Scottish Premiership, The Gers similarly outclassed Livingston with an emphatic 4-1 win at Ibrox on Saturday 16 January in the Championship.

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 help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

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 0844 338 7551 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk
