A LOTTERY prize of more than £68,000 scooped by a Rotherham punter has now been claimed.
Camelot, operator of The National Lottery, appealed earlier this month for the winner of the £68,244.80 prize from the EuroMillions draw on Friday, November 26 to come forward.
The firm revealed this week that the lucky winner, who asked not to be named, has now claimed their prize.
A National Lottery spokesperson 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-enhancing amount of money.
“We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.”
