ITV News' Rupert Evelyn went on the trail of the Worcester winner:

An unclaimed lottery ticket worth £33 million - half of the UK's biggest-ever Lotto jackpot - was bought in Worcester, Camelot has revealed.

Just two winners shared the record-breaking £66 million fortune - but one has not yet been found.

David and Carol Martin, both 54, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders, immediately claimed their share of the jackpot.

A Camelot spokeswoman said a "very small" number of people within the company know where the ticket was bought.

The broader area of Worcester, identified to include at least 100,000 people to ensure the ticket-holder can maintain anonymity, was released to the media in an effort to jog the memory of the winner to check his or her numbers.

  • The winning numbers were 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58.

Nothing more about the lucky ticket, including whether it was bought by an individual or a syndicate, is known, the spokeswoman added.

She said the purpose of the Worcester announcement is to "raise awareness in that area" that will hopefully lead to the ticket-holder realising they have won and coming forward to make a claim.
