SOMEONE in Huddersfield is sitting on a £250,000 fortune.

National Lottery officials say a mystery Thunderball winner in the town has yet to claim a jackpot prize - a month after it was drawn.

And now they are urging the lucky punter to come forward with his or her winning ticket.

The ticket's winning numbers are 18, 21, 24, 25 and 26 and Thunderball number 03. The draw was made on August 30.

That was the day Town beat Bristol Rovers 2-1.

Jacquie Wilson, of Camelot, said: "I would urge players in Huddersfield to dig deep in their coat pockets, check down the back of the sofa, old handbags, anywhere they may have put the ticket."

The claim deadline is February 26, 2004.
