ONE lucky person has just 10 days left to claim lottery money worth £51,678.

The search is still on to find the owner of the winning ticket — bought in the Wychavon District — who matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on 17 September, 2014.

With just ten days to go National Lottery players are being urged to check and double-check their tickets one last time.

The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 9, 19, 22, 34, 41, 46 and the bonus ball was 6.

The ticket-holder has until March 16 to make their claim.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money. We’re urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time or look anywhere a missing Lotto ticket could be hiding. This life-enhancing prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there.”

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
