The search is now on
to locate the owner of a winning ticket who
matched five main numbers and the bonus ball in
the Lotto draw on January 14, 2006.
The winning Lotto numbers for that draw were 4,
8, 16, 23, 28, 47, and bonus ball, 34. The lucky
ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on July 13, 2006,
to come forward and make their claim.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket
before the prize claim deadline, then the prize
money, plus all the interest generated, will go
to the Good Causes fund.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "We are
desperate to find this ticket-holder and unite
them with their winnings as it will certainly
change their lives.
"We are urging everyone to check their tickets
again and look in the pockets of their winter
coats, in their wallets, in bags and down the
back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice
and our fingers crossed!"
To jog Lotto players' memories, on January 14,
2006, Rob Marshall's new film, Memoirs of a
Geisha, had just opened at the cinema, while X
Factor winner Shayne Ward was topping the charts
with That's My Goal.
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket
should call the Lottery line on 0845 910 0000.
