AN amazing Lotto jackpot prize of £1.3m is still waiting to be claimed in Dorset, it has been revealed.
The lucky ticket was bought in the Dorset County Council area for the main draw on Saturday March 3 and National Lottery players are being urged to check and double check their tickets for the chance to claim the life-changing prize.
It contains the winning jackpot numbers 7, 20, 23, 28, 31, 40 and the bonus ball was 42.
Camelot say the winning ticket holder has the deadline of August 30 to claim their £1,373,420 prize.
If no one comes forward before the deadline, the money plus any interest generated will go to The National Lottery Good Causes.
To jog Lotto players’ memories Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye topped the UK singles chart at the time. While Adele was at the top of the album charts with 21.
A National Lottery spokesman said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a difference to somebody’s life. We’re urging everyone 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 in ice and our fingers are crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0845 9100000
