Bracknell

A Lucky Bracknell resident is sitting on a £78,500 fortune after getting five numbers and a bonus ball in a Lotto draw - but time is running out for them to collect.

The mystery person may not even know their numbers came up in the draw, which was held on Saturday, October 15. The winning Lotto numbers were: 4, 7, 29, 30, 42, 44. The bonus ball was 39.

Camelot have sent out a reminder in case the winner has mislaid their ticket or just does not realise they have won.

Spokesman Fabian Devlin said: "Lottery tickets have been kept in all sorts of strange places, which is why we are asking people to cast their minds back to October 15 to try and remember what they might have done with the ticket.

"It could be in the pocket of a coat or suit, or even in a wallet or bag.

"With Christmas only six weeks away, this prize could real-ly help kick start some early celebrations."

The mystery winner has 180 days from the evening of the draw to claim their winnings.

This means that after April 13 the cash will boost the coffers of the Lotto's good causes - adding to the £17 billion already raised from the sale of tickets.
