£97,000 Lottery Ticket Was Bought In County Down

National Lottery operators, Camelot, are searching for the owner of an unclaimed lottery ticket for almost £97,000 bought in County Down.

Catherine Jordan from Camelot, said they were desperate to find the mystery winner and that people should try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa if they have a suspicion that they may be the winner.

Anyone who thinks they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the hotline on 0845 910 0000.
