A LOTTO winner from Blackburn has come forward to claim their £78,918.90 prize.

The winner, whose identity has not been revealed, won the prize from the September 5 EuroMillions draw but had not come forward until this week.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: “We’re 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-enhancing amount of money.

“We would like to remind all National Lottery and EuroMillions players to check their tickets every time they play.”
