A lottery player is sitting on a ticket that will make them £1 million richer, it was revealed today.

The unclaimed EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle ticket was bought in north Norfolk, and the National Lottery is urging people to check if they may be the secret millionaire.

Every week one player in the UK wins £1 million prize but the winner from the draw on July 30 is yet to claim their prize.

For every line of numbers picked in the EuroMillions lottery, a raffle selection is printed on each player's ticket in the UK.

The winning selection was CTP063014 and the ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on Wednesday January 26 next year to make their claim.

If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the deadline, the prize money plus all the interest it has generated will go to the Good Causes pot.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings - this amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody's life.

"Being able to guarantee a UK millionaire every week with Millionaire Raffle is fantastic and we're urging everyone to check their old EuroMillions tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding so that this prize can turn someone into the newest member of the lottery millionaire club.

"Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win."
