The hunt is on for the lucky winner of a lottery jackpot of £4.3 million who has yet to cash in the ticket they bought in Northern Ireland.
Lottery chiefs advised people to check the back of their sofa for the ticket, bought in Co Down on Saturday June 2 and which is worth £4,392,003.
The winner must present the ticket before 5.30pm on Thursday November 29 to claim their prize. The winning Lotto numbers are 16, 18, 20, 25, 29, 34 and the bonus ball is 15. The winner matched all six numbers in the draw.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket holder and unite them with their winnings. This amazing jackpot prize could really make a huge difference to somebody's life.
"We're urging everyone to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding. Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. Someone out there could literally be sitting on a fortune.
"We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win."
If no one comes forward before the prize claim deadline, the prize money plus all the interest it has generated will go to the National Lottery Good Causes, adding to the £28 billion raised through sales of lottery tickets since the lottery was launched in November 1994.
Anyone who believes they have a winning ticket for any National Lottery draw should call 08459 100 000 within the 180-day deadline.
