A PREVIOUSLY unclaimed £105,963 lottery prize has been scooped by a mystery Lewisham resident.

The winning ticket from the lotto draw on Saturday, July 1 has been validated by Camelot from someone in the Lewisham area who wishes to remain anonymous.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: "We are delighted that the winner of this 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 also like to remind all Lotto players to check their tickets every time they play."
