The
National Lottery has been unable to trace the owner of a winning EuroMillions
raffle ticket that was bought in Bolton on July 26, last year.
Lottery
officials were so desperate to find the missing winner they enlisted the help
of Bolton's existing EuroMillionaire Brian Caswell, who won a £25 million
jackpot in 2009.
Speaking to
The Bolton News, Casswell made an appeal for Bolton players to check their
pockets. "Once it’s gone, it’s gone," he warned. "It will be no
good finding it in a month."
The 180 day
deadline passed on Wednesday at 11pm and the prize, along with any interest
earned, will now go to National Lottery Good Causes.
