THE hunt for Hyndburn's unclaimed £2million National Lottery jackpot from October has ended after the winner came forward.
Lottery operator Camelot had appealed for the winner to come forward for the £2,059,106 jackpot prize from the Lotto draw on 21 October.
No further information has been released as the winner, which could be an individual or a syndicate, asked for anonymity.
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-changing amount of money.
"We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play."
