An amazing Lotto prize of £67,889 has yet to be claimed in the Medway area.

The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket, who matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Saturday, June 28.

The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 7, 12, 19, 23, 46, 48 and the bonus ball was 28.

The lucky ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on Christmas Eve to make their claim.

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 the Good Causes – adding to the £21 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets since The National Lottery launched in November 1994.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a difference to somebody’s life. We’re urging everyone 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 jog Lotto players’ memories, on Saturday 28 June 2008, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, starring Ben Barnes, was showing at cinemas across the country, and Coldplay topped the singles chart with Viva La Vida and the album charts with Viva La Vida or Death and His All.
