A desperate search is on for the winner of a £76 million EuroMillions prize – as the deadline for claiming on a missing ticket approaches.
On Thursday, the National Lottery was using mobile advertising and posters in the region to try and find the winner ahead of the 5pm deadline on Sunday.
This is for any player who believes they picked the winning numbers, but no longer has the ticket.
Camelot has the discretion to pay prizes for stolen, lost or destroyed National Lottery tickets if the player has submitted a claim in writing within 30 days of the draw.
If the player can provide sufficient evidence, Camelot will investigate and consider the claim.
After Sunday, the winner must be in possession of their ticket to claim the prize. The deadline for this is May 1.
The owner of the winning ticket matched five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers to win the entire £76.3 million jackpot.
The winning numbers were 5, 15, 17, 37 and 44 and the Lucky Star numbers were 7 and 11.
