A lucky winner from the London Borough of Bexley Area could be celebrating the New Year in style this year, if only they come forward to claim a Lotto prize worth a fantastic £136,855
The mystery ticket-holder matched five numbers and the bonus ball in the draw held on Saturday 3 December 2005. The winning Lotto numbers were 2, 10, 11, 28, 36, 47 and bonus 33. The mystery ticket-holder has until 5.30pm on 1 June 2006 to make their claim.
If no-one comes forward with the winning ticket before the deadline, then the prize money, plus the interest it has generated, will go to the Good Causes – adding to the £17 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets over the last 11 years.
A Camelot spokesperson, said: “December is a very busy time of year with people doing their Christmas shopping. It may be that someone has bought a ticket and then put it away with all their receipts, which is why we are urging everyone to check through their paperwork really carefully. We are keen to re-unite the lucky ticket holder with their prize so they can start off the New Year in the best possible way.”
To jog Lotto players’ memories, on 3 December 2005, Keeping Mum, starring Rowan Atkinson and Kirsten Scott Thomas had just opened at the cinema, while Madonna was topping the charts with Hung Up.
Following the ‘Real Story’ documentary on BBC television, Bexley Council has reassured its residents that their recycleable materials are being properly handled and reused.
The programme made allegations about the recycling of mixed waste by Grosvenor Waste Management, which operates a private waste transfer station and materials recycling facility in the north of Bexley. Grosvenor Waste Management has categorically denied the allegations.
Bexley’s recycleable materials are dealt with in a completely different way from the processes examined in the programme, because they are sorted by residents into separate containers.
The borough’s waste paper and cardboard is taken to the site featured in the programme, but only for bundling up and transport on to the Council’s processors, Smurfit and Cheshire Recycling. No allegations have been made about the company’s recycling of these products, and the Council is satisfied that all the material it collects is recycled properly.
“I can reassure our residents that there is no cause for concern about the destination of the material we collect from them for recycling,” says Cllr Joel Briant, Cabinet Member for the Environment. “I hope very much that the programme does not discourage anyone from recycling. We’re now the number one borough in London for recycling and with the support of residents we are working as hard as we can to hold on to our top spot.”
