Hunt on for mystery lottery ticket holder who's sitting on huge £5million fortune

A hunt is on for a mystery lottery winner who's sitting on a huge £5million fortune.

The £5,355,727 prize for the draw on April 13 has still not been claimed say bosses from the National Lottery was from a ticket bought online.

In addition to the unclaimed £5million ticket which was bought online, another life-changing ticket holder has matched five numbers and the Bonus Ball - scooping £1million in the same draw.

Sadly for would-be winners, that prize has now been claimed.

Camelot’s Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “What a sensational start to the summer it could be for the lucky multi-millionaire who has maybe yet to realise it.

"Imagine what you could do with just over £5million - a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, a dream pad or treating your nearest and dearest, and a lot else besides.”

After Camelot validate the claim and pay out the winning amount, the ticket-holder has to decide if they want to go public and let everyone know or not.

No information will be revealed by the National Lottery who the winner is or if they are a single winner or a member of a syndicate if asked not to.

The Mirror told earlier this month how gran who won £1million on a National Lottery scratchcard had quit her job and is planning a dream holiday to Las Vegas to celebrate.

Sandy Doyle retired from her warehouse job as soon as her win was confirmed by Camelot.

She bought the winning Match A Million National Lottery Scratchcard ticket at a One Stop shop in Salisbury.

Sandy said: "I’ll be helping out my two daughters and my grandkids too, I think the first treat for us all will be a trip to the beach for Easter holidays where we can have fun and take some time to plan the future."

The gran's exciting new future began when she popped to the local shop early on a Sunday morning to pick up a copy of the paper and treated herself to two Match A Million National Lottery Scratchcards.

Her £1million meant she was able to quit her job and plan a trip.
