A NATIONAL Lottery winner from the Bromley area is yet to claim a prize of nearly half a million pounds.

The winning ticket bought in the borough matched all six numbers in the draw on Wednesday, September 3.

A jackpot prize of £448,851 is still waiting to be collected.

The winning numbers on that date were 3, 5, 7, 9, 24 and 35.

Whoever holds the ticket has until 5.30pm on March 2 next year to claim their prize.

Uncollected prize money goes towards good causes such as charities, sports, arts and education projects.

A National Lottery spokesman said: “We’re desperate to find this missing ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings.

“We have the champagne on ice, our fingers crossed and fireworks on hand to help the ticket-holder celebrate should they come forward in time to claim their prize.”

Anyone who believes they have a winning ticket should call the National Lottery on 0845 910 0000.
