ONE lucky person in North Somerset will be popping the champagne corks after collecting their unclaimed Lottery win - is it you or do you know who has hit the jackpot?
Camelot UK Lotteries Limited put out an appeal earlier this year to try and trace the owner of a winning ticket worth £91,820.
The ticket had been purchased in North Somerset for the draw on June 26, but no one came forward to collect the prize.
Following the appeal, the winner has now collected the prize - but their identity remains a mystery.
It is not even known if the winner actually lives in North Somerset, although the ticket was bought in the area.
Unless the winner of a major National Lottery prize opts to take full publicity and signs an agreement to that effect, no further information can be released about their win.
A National Lottery spokesperson 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."
