Lotto tickets worth £360,000 bought in County Durham have gone unclaimed for more than three months.

The three unclaimed lines are for January 9’s Set for Life game, and are worth £120,000 each.

The winning numbers in the draw were 7, 16, 24, 29, 31 and the life ball was 3.

All three lines matched five numbers and were bought in County Durham. Lotto operator Camelot has not confirmed whether the three lines are from the same ticket or not.

The lucky winner, or winners, will have until July 8 to claim their prize.

Set for Life gives players the opportunity to win a top prize of £10,000 a month for thirty years, worth a total of £3.6m, for matching all five numbers and the life ball.

The second prize is £10,000 a month for a year, for matching the five main numbers.

If no valid claim has been made on the prize by around two weeks after the draw, Camelot will reveal the general area in which the ticket was bought to encourage tickets to be checked but to allow the winner to remain anonymous if they wish.

They do not publish details of which store the ticket was bought at in order to keep the winner anonymous.

Once a ticket-holder has called Camelot and a claim has been validated and paid, the ticket-holder will then decide whether or not to go public.

There will be no information on whether the winner is an individual or a syndicate unless the ticket-holder decides to go public.

With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket.

And if the prize goes unclaimed the money, plus any interest it has generated, goes to National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 or email help@national-lottery.co.uk.
