A huge £5 million lottery prize is yet to be claimed in Birmingham.
The ticket-holder has until 27 March 2023 to make their claim.
Every year, a number of lottery winners fail to check their tickets and claim their prizes, as they continue their daily lives with the usual financial burdens most people have.
Staff at Camelot are calling on all National Lottery Lotto players to check their pockets, wallets and sofas to see if they have the winning ticket.
Andy Carter, Camelot senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “We’re desperate to find Birmingham’s’ mystery Lotto jackpot ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings.”
Mr Carter said: “We’re urging everyone to try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags, down the back of the sofa and anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.
“What with the £7.4M Lotto jackpot prize that is still unclaimed from a ticket bought in Wolverhampton for the Lotto draw on June 18, Lotto players in the are sitting on two massive National Lottery prizes worth a total of nearly £12.5M.
“It’s time to get these life-changing prizes claimed.
“We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed for both the West Midlands’ missing multi-millionaires.”
The cash prize on the ticket in Birmingham totals £5,070,357 and the winning numbers for September 28 are 3, 15, 20, 48, 57, 58 and the Bonus Ball was 9.
