SOMEONE in Londonderry could be well over £100,000 richer – if only they would claim their prize from the National Lottery, it was revealed yesterday.
Lotto operator Camelot has the champagne on ice while it waits for the winner of £137,181 to come forward.
The lucky ticket was purchased in Londonderry on Wednesday, June 27 and matched five main draw numbers – 7, 13, 23, 40, 41, 48, plus the bonus number 1.
The ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on Christmas Eve, Monday, December 24, to claim the prize.
The lucky ticket continues the city's winning streak, following last month's £1.6m jackpot scoop by 60-year-old Waterside man Denis Doherty.
There has also been a series of big wins in Co Londonderry, which boasts the luckiest lottery outlet in Northern Ireland.
McCloskey's newsagents in Dungiven has sold two jackpot-winning tickets.
Local woman Ann Logan won almost £500,000 and before that, Limavady van driver Stephen Boyd bought a ticket there that netted him almost £1.5 million pounds.
A list of all the unclaimed National Lottery prizes currently within the 180-day claim deadline is available to players at www.national-lottery.co.uk.
