National Lottery players have yet to claim a prize worth an amazing £10,000 a month for 30 years. The unclaimed prize matched the five main numbers of the draw - 2, 5, 21, 34, 35 - and the Life Ball number 6 in the draw which took place on June 5.

The National Lottery has revealed the prize was bought in the South Holland District, Lincolnshire.

The ticket-holder now has until December 2 to claim their prize. Anyone not in possession of their ticket but who believes they won can still make a claim in writing to Camelot, though this must be within 30 days of the draw

Andy Carter, senior winners’ adviser at the National Lottery, said: "We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody’s life, and what a way it would be to enjoy this summer…and the next 30!

"Every single month for the next 30 years - that’s an incredible 360 months - will see the lucky winner banking £10,000, if only they would come forward! We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old Set For Life tickets again – the easiest way to do this is via the National Lottery app – 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.”

If the ticket is not claimed before the deadline, the prize money, plus all interest generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects.
