MYSTERY is continuing to surround the identity of the second £33 million jackpot winner — after a flurry of rumours that the ticket could have been sold in a Bolton supermarket.

Someone with an unclaimed ticket may have a fortune lying in their wallet or their house, but as of yet no-one knows who or where they are.

It can be safely assumed that the person or people who bought the second winning ticket did so at a shop rather than from the website, as those with an online account would have received an email informing them of the good news and urging them to log in as quickly as possible.

Camelot will only release the location where the ticket was bought until two weeks have passed since the draw — which will be on January 23.

The winner has 180 days from the date of the draw to claim the prize.

If the money is not claimed, the money will go towards funding National Lottery projects.

A Camelot spokesman said there could be "a million reasons" why the winner has not come forward yet.

He said: "A lot of times, the winner will tell us they just didn't get around to checking the ticket, usually because of some event like moving house, going on holiday.

"But this particular situation is highly unusual because there was so much hype and excitement around this particular draw. Whoever it is has gone into a shop and paid their money knowing the amount at stake.

"There's someone out there somewhere in the UK who has won £33 million. That's all we know."

Rumours were abound in Bolton after a plaque which says 'millionaire created here' arrived at Morrisons in Blackhorse Street on Monday.

In addition, Mark King, a Waitrose store manager from Chorley, said that he had insider knowledge that the other winning ticket matching the numbers 26, 27, 46, 47, 52 and 58 was bought at Morrisons in Bolton.

Camelot did not confirm whether the plaque was related to the £33 million jackpot, but said that a millionaire had been created at the store in the past six months.

A couple from Scottish borders have already claimed their half of the record £66 million rollover draw.
