East Dunbartonshire lottery millionaire claims prize

The National Lottery put out an appeal to find the lucky winner earlier this week after the prize from the draw on April 27 went unclaimed.

Now the person has finally come forward to claim the cash.

A National Lottery spokesman added: “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-changing amount of money.

“We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”
