SOMEONE in Comet country could be sitting on a fortune and not know it.

National Lottery players in the Stevenage and Welwyn area are being urged to check and double-check their old tickets, as a £142,035 Lotto prize remains unclaimed.

The search is now on to find the owner of the winning ticket who matched five numbers plus the bonus ball on Saturday, November 25.

The winning Lotto numbers that day were 4, 7, 31, 38, 44, 48, and the bonus number was 1.

A National Lottery spokesman said: "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings - this life-enhancing prize could really help to make this Christmas one to remember.
