A Lotto prize has been claimed by a Christchurch resident – more than three months after the win.

Camelot UK Lotteries Limited, operator of The National Lottery, said the owner of a £66,300 prize from the Lotto draw on December 20, 2014, has now stepped forward.

A spokesperson added: “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 amount of money.”
