A mystery Sussex resident is sitting on a National Lottery ticket that is worth more than £65,000.

The search is now on to find the person who bought the lucky ticket in Worthing, before the time limit is up.

The ticket was for the Lotto draw on Wednesday, September 4, and has a £65,407 prize.

Gary Webb, from Camelot, said: "Maybe you've got the dream ticket. I'd like to encourage everyone to check high and low for their tickets."

The lucky numbers for that draw were 2, 23, 28, 33, 45, 47 and the bonus number was 13. The ticket holder has until 11pm on March 3, 2003, to claim.
