The search is on for the lottery player from the Norwich area, who has failed to collect a six-figure prize.
National Lottery players are being urged to double check their tickets as a Lotto prize of �136,831 is waiting to be claimed.
The owner of the winning ticket matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on Wednesday, March 24.
The winning Lotto numbers on that date were 3, 5, 23, 28, 42, 49 and the bonus ball was 41.
A National Lottery spokesman said: 'We're desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings.
'This amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody's life. We're urging everyone to check their old tickets again or look anywhere a missing ticket could be hiding.
