A Lotto punter has won almost £250,000 with a ticket bought in the Fareham area.
Camelot, the operator of The National Lottery, confirmed that the £240,023 prize from the Lotto draw on November 28, 2009 has now been claimed.
The lucky winner, who has opted not to be identified, came forward after Camelot announced last week that the ticket remained unclaimed. He or she matched five balls and the bonus ball.
A National Lottery spokesman 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-enhancing amount of money. We would like to remind all National Lottery players to check their tickets every time they play.'
