TIME is running out for three National Lottery winners sitting on eye-watering Set for Life prizes with just days to claim – could it be you?
Brits are being urged to check behind their sofas and in unused pockets for their tickets – as a handful of players risk losing £10,000-a-month for 30 years.

At present, three identical Set For Life prizes sit untouched in County Durham, and the deadline to claim is just days away – Saturday, July 8.
The draw took place on January 9 this year, but the cash is still unclaimed despite the National Lottery’s best efforts.
Elsewhere in the UK, an unknown lucky punter is at risk of missing out on their £10,000-a-month jackpot in South Holland District, Lincolnshire.
Their fortune changed during the June 5 2023 draw – but they need to claim their ticket by tomorrow, July 5, to scoop the prize.
The fifth and final Set For Life winning ticket was bought in Bridgend County Borough, Wales.
This player has a little longer to cash in their windfall, with the deadline closing on October 21, 2023.
The life-changing draw took place on April 24, 2023.
Andy Carter, Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, said: “Five Set For Life prizes means five life-changing prizes are just begging to be claimed from tickets bought in locations across England and Wales.

“Whether you’re a regular Set For Life player in these areas or you were in these locations for work, holiday or to see family and bought a ticket for these draws it’s time to search for and check your tickets.”
Andy continued, “With these three identical prizes in County Durham time really is running out, the winner or winners have now got just a matter of days to come forward.”
Players are being urged to check their tickets via the National Lottery app, or call the National Lottery Line on 0333 234 5050 if you think you’ve won.
This comes as two Set For Life prizes were scooped by lucky players last week.
One winner from the Stroud District and another from Dundee took home the £10,000-a-month for 30 years jackpot.
And, last night’s National Lottery Set For Life numbers were: 09, 10, 29, 30, 39 and the Life Ball was 10.
Meanwhile, National lottery players have been urged to check their tickets after one scooped a £20m jackpot.
The single ticket-holder matched all six numbers on Saturday July 1, operators Camelot revealed.
The six winning numbers were 1, 12, 20, 22, 24 and 35.
It follows a similar appeal after a Lotto-winning ticket worth £1m was unclaimed after being bought in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland last month.
