A search has been launched to find three Scots who each scooped £1m in the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle.
Two Scots, one from Fife, the other from East Dunbartonshire, each won £1m during the special EuroMillions draw on Friday, July 26, which set out to create 100 UK millionaires in one night.
Another lucky winner, also from Fife, scooped the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle jackpot on Tuesday, July 23.
The ticketholders have until 11pm on Wednesday, January 22 2014 and Sunday, January 19 2014 respectively to claim their prizes.
A National Lottery spokesperson said, "There are three lucky winners in Scotland with simply no idea of their win - imagine walking round not knowing you are a millionaire. We urge every player to check their tickets as there are life changing prizes waiting to be claimed. The clock is now ticking for these ticket-holders and we want to get the prize into their bank account so they can start enjoying their win as soon as possible. Check in the bottom of your handbag and in every coat pocket, even have a rummage down the back of your sofa - the ticket could be lurking anywhere.
"EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle is life changing, creating millionaire every week and we are desperate to find our missing millionaires in the Kingdom of Fife. These special draws help to raise more than £35 million every week for National Lottery Good Causes across the UK."
Players have 180 days from the day of the draw to claim their prize if they have the winning ticket. Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call the National Lottery Line on 0845 910 0000.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest it has generated, will go to the Good Causes - adding to the £30 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets since The National Lottery launched in November 1994.
