	6 October 2005 LOTTO SCOT WINS £5.5M AND DOESN'T KNOW By Keith Mcleod A SCOTS lottery-player is sitting on a £5.5million jackpot - and doesn't even know it yet. The mystery winner, from North Lanarkshire, put on a ticket for the National Lottery draw on September 10 and selected the six correct numbers. That entitles them to a £5,476,246 fortune, but they haven't claimed the prize yet. The jackpot is the biggest-ever unclaimed jackpot in Scotland. And yesterday, Camelot spokesman Fabian Devlin appealed to players to check their tickets. He said: "Scotland appears to be a really lucky area at the moment with so many winners. "Only this week, Andrew and Doreen McAllister from Biggar celebrated a big win on EuroMillions. We would like to add a few more winners to this list by uniting mystery ticketholders with their money.
