Before you buy your lottery tickets this week, maybe you should have a quick look at the unclaimed prizes list from the National Lottery. There is millions in unclaimed prizes, from many of the UK lottery draws, including a share of a UK Lotto jackpot that expires this week. This lottery prize worth almost £1 million is just one of the examples of the lottery prizes that could go to charity, and the winner only has until June 16th to claim.

The share of the Lotto jackpot in question, was from the UK Lotto draw on 18th December. The winner shared the UK Lotto jackpot making the ticket worth £956,813. The lottery ticket was sold in the Vale of White Horse, in Oxfordshire but as yet the winner has not come forward.

If you buy lottery tickets in this area – maybe you visited the area for a Christmas party – then it’s time to think about where an old lottery ticket may be. Is it possible that in the pocket of a suit worn for a party, is an old lottery ticket worth almost £1 million?

This is just one of many unclaimed lottery prizes in the UK, from the UK Lotto, Euromillions and the Millionaire Raffle, so make sure you keep your lottery tickets safe! Alternatively, choose the online option, as many are today and buy your lottery tickets online for complete safety. It’s not possible to lose a lottery ticket if you’ve purchased online, and what’s more if you’re lucky the National Lottery will let you know by email!
