Lotto ticket bought in Wakefield provides 50,000 reasons to be cheerful
Lottery bosses issued an appeal earlier this month for people to check their old Lotto tickets as the prize had gone unclaimed following a draw on August 27.
And today they announced that the holder of the all-important winning ticket has since made contact with them.

Hide AdA National Lottery spokesman said: “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.
“It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this substantial and life-enhancing amount of money.
“We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”
August 27’s draw was a one-off held to thank Lotto players for the support they had given Team GB during the Rio Olympics.
