A near-£100,000 lottery win has finally been claimed by a lucky player from Perth and Kinross more than a month after their numbers came up.
The prize has been outstanding since the Lotto draw on Sunday June 2, with residents urged to check their tickets for the numbers 16, 18, 20, 25, 29, 34 and 15.
Had no one come forward by November 29 the £96,527 would have been given to the National Lottery Good Causes.
Camelot operator of the National Lottery was delighted to finally be able to hand over the life-changing sum.
Whether the ticket was found down the back of a sofa or mistakenly discarded is unknown, with the National Lottery unable to provide any further information about the winner.
A spokesman 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-enhancing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”
