Calling all Punchline readers in the Stroud area... if you play The National Lottery (TNL) and are fond of the numbers 10, 32, 36, 39 and 43, plus a Life Ball of 2, you might want to check the back of the sofa.

If you find the ticket, it'll sadly (or not so sadly) present you with an agonising choice: do you want to choose £10,000 a month for the next 30 years or just go for the instant gratification of £3.5m?

The lucky Stroud-area holder of that ticket and this consequential dilemma has until 14th November 2023 to claim their prize. And if you don't have it, but believe you still have a genuine claim, you can write to Camelot, as long as you do so within 30 days of the draw.

Andy Carter, senior winners' advisor at TNL said: "We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings, this amazing prize could really make a massive difference to somebody's life, and what a way it would be to start the summer.

"Every single month for the next 30 years - that's an incredible 360 months - will see the lucky winner banking £10,000, if only they would come forward!

"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.

"We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win."

Oh, and if reading this jogged your memory, Punchline expects at least a bottle of bubbly for the reminder.
