£130k Lottery prize claimed

The owner of a winning lottery ticket has come forward to collect their £129,473 prize.

The prize had remained unclaimed since the draw on Saturday 17 September.

Unless the winner of a major National Lottery prize opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win, the National Lottery said.

A National Lottery spokesperson 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.”
