Hunt to find owner of £1m winning lottery ticket
PAThe hunt is on to find Tameside's next millionaire.
The owner of a lottery ticket bought in the Greater Manchester borough this summer now only has two months left to claim their £1m prize.
Under National Lottery rules, winners must submit their claim within six months. In this case they must do so before 00:00 GMT on 28 December.
"The winning ticket could be tucked away somewhere completely ordinary while its owner has absolutely no idea they are a millionaire," said Andy Carter from National Lottery operator Allwyn.
PA"We'd love to find the person we've been looking for and turn this search into a celebration," Carter added.
"So, if you bought a ticket in the area, dig it out, check those numbers and help us find Tameside's missing millionaire.
"It could be you."
The winning numbers were 5, 8, 26, 33, 39, 42 and the Bonus Ball was 54.
