A LUCKY person in Hampshire has scooped a Lotto prize of £92,608 without even knowing it.

The prize has yet to be claimed and National Lottery players are being urged to check and double-check their tickets for the chance to claim this life-enhancing prize.

The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket, bought in the Fareham and Gosport area, who matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Saturday 24 March 2007.

The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 9, 14, 26, 28, 30, 45 and the bonus ball was 38.

The lucky ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on Thursday September 20 to come forward to make their claim.

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 charity.
