Are you a millionair­e?

-

A Lottery player in Hamilton could be sitting on a cool £1million.

The National Lottery are hunting for a Lotto Millionair­e Raffle winner who won in the extra special Lotto Medal Draw on Saturday, August 27, after buying a ticket in South Lanarkshir­e.

Players are being urged once again to check and double-check their unique raffle code for the chance to become an instant millionair­e.

Every week the Lotto Millionair­e Raffle guarantees to create two millionair­es — one on Wednesday and one on Saturday.

However, this draw created an extra 67 winners of lifechangi­ng prizes in one night — 27 prizes of £1 million were up for grabs to match the number of gold medals won in Rio, 23 prizes of £100,000 to equal the silver medal haul and 17 additional prizes of £50,000 to match those bronze medals won by Team GB.

The winning code on August 27 for this prize was GREY 8746 6648 and the lucky ticket-holder has until February 23, 2017, to claim their win.

If no one comes forward before the prize-claim deadline, then the money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to help National Lottery projects.

Andy Carter, who leads the team that pays out major National Lottery prize winners, said: “This was a special draw to celebrate Team GB’S success in Rio and to thank players for all the support they have given athletes by playing The National Lottery.

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