A winning lottery ticket worth £3.6 million which was bought in Scotland has yet to be claimed.

The ticket was bought in South Lanarkshire for the draw on Saturday May 12 and matched the six winning numbers, which were 1, 5, 18, 21, 23 and 33. The bonus ball was 20.

The total prize stands at £3,634,865 and National Lottery organisers are urging players who were in the area two weeks ago to check their tickets.

A spokesman said: "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings - this amazing jackpot 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."

The ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on Thursday November 8 to claim their prize.

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

More than 2800 people have become millionaires and £28bn has been raised for charity through ticket sales since the National Lottery launched in November 1994, organisers said.

Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket for any of the National Lottery draws within the 180-day deadline can call 0845 910 0000 to check their prize.
