Richard Haslop was milling around the aisle of his local store in Cambridge when his wife made the surprise discovery.
He then turned to social media users to help reunite the elusive winner, Barry Levett, with his windfall.
The shocked shopper shared a post detailing his search for the man in a number of local Facebook groups.
But he made sure to warn any scammers they would need some hard proof to confirm they were the ticket holder.
Richard wrote: “Anyone know a Barry Levett?
“The reason I ask is that my wife found a number of lottery tickets (which also included a winning cheque made out to Barry hence why we know a name) in a Tesco’s trolley and we wish to return to him.
“A description of what the tickets are kept in would be required before anyone tries to claim on his behalf.
“Thank you.”
