THREE lucky winners are being urged to come forward after matching all six numbers and bagging £10,000 a month for one year.
The search is now on to find the owners of the winning tickets purchased in County Durham.

The five main numbers in the Set For Life draw were 7, 16, 24, 29, 31 and the Life Ball was 3.
They were matched on 9 January 2023.
The lucky ticket-holders now have until 8 July 2023 to claim their prizes.
If someone doesn’t have a ticket in their possession, they can still make a claim in writing to Camelot within 30 days of the draw to convince organisers.
While three tickets have been matched, it is possible for the victor to be one individual.
Camelot’s Andy Carter – Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery – explained: “This is incredible. Whether these prizes are one lucky ticket-holder who, for whatever reason, has played the same winning numbers three times or more than one ticket-holder who have happened to have played the same numbers in the same draw, it’s a total of three prizes worth £10,000 a month for one year waiting to be claimed.
“Did you visit family or friends in County Durham over the festive season or over New Year and buy a Set For Life ticket or are you a Set For Life player who lives in the area?
Andy continued: “We’re urging everyone who bought a ticket in this area to check their old Set For Life tickets again – the easiest way to do this is via the National Lottery app – or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.

“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa. This draw was just after New Year….and what a way to start 2023 these prizes would be.
“We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner or winners comes forward to claim their win or wins.”
Players can buy and check their tickets online by downloading the National Lottery app or at national-lottery.co.uk.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket or tickets before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money – plus all the interest it has generated – will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.
To date, over £47BN has been raised for National Lottery Good Causes, with more than 670,000 individual grants awarded.
