AN OUTSTANDING £1m Lotto Millionaire raffle prize bought in Sunderland has now been claimed.

Camelot, the operator of The National Lottery, had appealed for the owner of the winning ticket, from September 6, to come forward.

Andy Carter, senior winners’ advisor at The National Lottery, said: “We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing prize has now come forward and we hope that they will enjoy their win.

"It would have been awful if the ticket-holder had missed out on this substantial and life-changing amount of money.

"We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play."
