 The search is now on to locate the owner of a winning ticket who matched five main numbers and the bonus ball in the Lotto draw on January 14, 2006.
The winning Lotto numbers for that draw were 4, 8, 16, 23, 28, 47, and bonus ball, 34. The lucky ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on July 13, 2006, to come forward and make their claim.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money, plus all the interest generated, will go to the Good Causes fund.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "We are desperate to find this ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings as it will certainly change their lives.
"We are urging everyone to check their tickets again and look in the pockets of their winter coats, in their wallets, in bags and down the back of the sofa. We have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed!"
To jog Lotto players' memories, on January 14, 2006, Rob Marshall's new film, Memoirs of a Geisha, had just opened at the cinema, while X Factor winner Shayne Ward was topping the charts with That's My Goal.
Anyone who believes they have the winning ticket should call the Lottery line on 0845 910 0000.
