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.

“We’re encouraging all players who bought a ticket for the Lotto Medal Draw in the Falkirk Council Area to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“Try checking in draws, pockets, wallets and in bottom of handbags – someone out there could literally be carrying around a fortune and not even know it! We have the champagne and big cheque on standby – all we need is the lucky winner to come forward to claim their prize.”
