The National Lottery are on the hunt for a secret millionaire who bought their winning ticket in Glasgow.

The ticket was bought on Janaury 20, 2016 in the city and players are being urged to check their unique Lotto Millionaire Raffle code for the chance to become an instant millionaire.

The winning code was NAVY 3903 3904 and the lucky ticket-holder has until 18 July, 2016 to claim their prize.

A National Lottery spokesman said: “We’re eager to find the 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 who bought a Lotto ticket in this area 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.”

To help jog Lotto players’ memories about what was happening around the date of the draw in question. Glasgow football clubs Celtic and Rangers, were in action. While The Bhoys thrashed Hamilton 8-1 on Tuesday, January 19 in the Scottish Premiership, The Gers similarly outclassed Livingston with an emphatic 4-1 win at Ibrox on Saturday, January 16 in the Championship.

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.

The National Lottery changes the lives of individuals as well as communities – players raise, on average, over £34 million for National Lottery-funded projects every week.

Anyone who has any queries or who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline should call the National Lottery Line on 0844 338 7551 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk
