A PERSON from Slough has claimed a £1 million National Lottery ticket which had been left unclaimed for almost three months.

Camelot said today (Tuesday) that the person, who wishes to remain anonymous, had proof of the winning ticket which won the Millionaire Raffle prize.

The ticket was for the draw of May 13 and an appeal had been issued at the time for the person, who Camelot knew to live in the Slough postcode, to come forward.

Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery said: “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.

"It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this substantial and life-changing amount of money. "We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”

A spokesman for Camelot added: "Unless the winner of a major National Lottery prize opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win."
