A £127,298 Lotto prize from a ticket bought in South East Cornwall has gone unclaimed.

The punter who bought the ticket has missed the deadline for claiming the cash.

Now the money, plus all the interest it has earned, will go to The National Lottery Good Causes. 

The ticket, from the Lotto draw on Saturday, July 30 last year, matched five numbers and the bonus ball.

The deadline for the ticketholder to claim their prize was 5.30pm on Thursday, January 26 – 180 days after the draw. 

A National Lottery spokesperson said: 'Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this substantial amount of money.

'We tried very hard to find the ticketholder and it's a real shame that they have missed out, but there is still one winner – the nation.'
