Winning £500k Lottery Ticket Unclaimed

The ticket is for the draw made on Wednesday 2 April 2014.

All five numbers and the Thunderball were matched.

The winning numbers were 11, 18, 21, 29 and 30. The Thunderball number was 4.

The lucky ticket holder has until Monday 29 September 2014 to claim their prize.

If no one claims the winnings, the money – as well as the interest it has generated – will go towards the National Lottery Good Causes fund.

A spokesperson for the National Lottery is quoted as saying: "We're desperate to find this 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 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."

If anyone thinks they have the winning ticket, they are urged to call the National Lottery Line on 0845 910 0000.
