One lucky Medway resident could be sitting on a fortune - and they don't even know it!

A EuroMillions prize of almost £89,000 has been won by someone who bought a ticket in the Towns.

But no one has yet come forward to collect the bumper prize.

Now Camelot bosses are urging people to double-check their tickets to see if they have scooped the cash.

They say a ticket bought in Medway matched five main numbers and no Lucky Stars in the EuroMillions draw on Friday, February 25.

The winning numbers were 12, 13, 42, 45, 48 and the Lucky Stars were 3 and 9.

The ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on Wednesday, August 24 to make their claim.

If no one comes forward with the winning ticket before the deadline, the prize money - plus all the interest it has generated - will go to good causes.

A National Lottery spokesman said: "We're desperate to find this 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 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 EuroMillions players' memories, Price Tag by Jessie J featuring Bob topped the UK singles chart at the time, while Adele was at the top of the album chart with 21.

Gillingham FC were in action on the day after the draw , when they drew 0-0 away to Shrewsbury.

Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery on 0845 910 0000.
