The National Lottery is desperately searching for the owner of a £64,000 jackpot winning ticket bought in Manchester who is yet to come forward.
The winning ticket was confirmed to have been purchased in Manchester earlier this month and matches all five main numbers, totalling a large sum of money, but the prize winnings are still unclaimed at this moment in time.
The draw was made on 14th July 2020 and the numbers on that date were 11, 22, 30, 37, 47, with the Lucky Star numbers being 9 and 10.
The lucky ticket-holder has until 10th January 2021 to claim their prize.
Anyone not in possession of their ticket, but for whatever reason believes they have a genuine claim, can still make a proposal in writing to Camelot, but this must be done within 30 days of the draw.

Speaking on the unclaimed winnings, Andy Carter – Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery – said: “We’re desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their winnings,”
“This amazing prize could really make a huge difference to somebody’s life.”

He continued: “In the current situation, we’re encouraging everyone to check their tickets online via The National Lottery website or via The National Lottery app. You can scan your retail draw-based game tickets on The National Lottery App to see if you’ve won a prize.”
“Try checking in the pockets of clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa [because] we have the champagne on ice and our fingers crossed that the lucky winner comes forward to claim their win.”
“While we are all trying to do the right thing by staying indoors as much as possible at the moment, it’s a good opportunity to dig out and check those old lottery tickets.”

If nobody presents the winning ticket before the prize claim deadline, then the prize money – plus all the interest it has generated – will go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK, so get checking your numbers Manchester as this could be your lucky day.

Morrisons is introducing ‘sensory support boxes’ in stores for autistic and neurodiverse customers

Morrisons is introducing ‘sensory support boxes’ for autistic and neurodiverse customers shopping in its stores across the UK.
Supermarket shopping isn’t always the most pleasant or manageable of experiences for everyone, especially for those who are autistic or neurodivergent – with bright lights, loud sounds, strong smells, and crowds of people making it a rather overwhelming and overstimulating atmosphere.
This is why Morrisons has decided to collaborate with the National Autistic Society to introduce dedicated ‘Sensory Support Boxes’ at its stores nationwide, as a way to both mark World Autism Acceptance Month, and help autistic and neurodivergent customers have the positive shopping experience they deserve.
These boxes have been carefully-developed in consultation with the National Autistic Society to ensure they include the most helpful items.
A range of toys like fidget balls, spinners, and squish mats can all be found inside the boxes – which will be eventually be available in all 500 Morrisons supermarkets by May – to help encourage calmness and focus.
All that customers wishing to access the items need to do is simply speak to a colleague at the customer service kiosk of their local Morrisons store.
More than one in 100 people are autistic, and there are 700,000 autistic adults and children in the UK.

Speaking on the decision to introduce the Sensory Support Boxes into UK stores, Joseph Clark-Bland, who is the Community Manager at Morrisons, said: “It’s a priority for us to ensure all Morrisons customers feel welcomed and understood.
“We’re proud to be leading the way in creating a more inclusive shopping environment for autistic people, their families and all neurodivergent people across the UK.
“World Autism Acceptance Month has been a key moment for Morrisons for many years, and we look forward to supporting even more customers via our new Sensory Boxes.”
The introduction of the Sensory Support Boxes comes after Morrisons first trialled a ‘Quieter Hour’ in some of its stores back in 2018, before rolling it out nationwide in 2024 due to its success and positive feedback.

With Easter right around the corner, and schools across Greater Manchester set to be on their spring holidays in a couple of weeks time, parents and carers will likely be looking for ways to keep the kids entertained while schools are out.
But now it’s time to take care of those film lovers… and also those keen to plan budget-friendly events that also take into account the classic Manchester April showers.
