THE owner of a lottery ticket worth £100,000 that was bought in Reading has come forward to claim their prize.

An appeal went out on Friday, August 27 after the ticket's owner won in the special medal draw celebrating Team GB's Olympic success but couldn't be found.

A National Lottery spokesperson said: "We’re delighted that the winner of this amazing 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."
