A EuroMillions prize worth £276,669.50 has yet to be claimed from a ticket bought in Aberdeen.

The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket who matched the five main numbers and one Lucky Star number in the EuroMillions draw on 20 November, 2015.

The winning numbers on that date were 4, 30, 34, 46, 49 and the Lucky Star numbers were 7 and 8.

The lucky ticket-holder has until 18 May, 2016, to claim their prize.

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re eager to find the mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings – this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life. We’re urging everyone who bought a EuroMillions ticket in this area to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa – someone out there could literally be sitting on a fortune! We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”

Back in October Camelot revealed another ticket worth £121,729.20 had gone unclaimed in Aberdeen.
