THE owners of two £1.6 million winning lottery tickets are urged to come forward before the General Election or see their cash donated to charity.

The tickets, from the National Lottery's £10 million jackpot-only Birthday Draw on November 6, were bought in Sandwell, West Midlands, and Stroud, Gloucestershire, but are so far unclaimed.

The deadline to claim is 5.30pm on Thursday, May 5.

Both tickets matched all six numbers to win a £1,666,667 share of the £10m jackpot.

The numbers were 05, 17, 23, 26, 42 and 48. Call the National Lottery Line on 0845 9100000.
