Unclaimed Lotto prizes for June

Last Updated: Sunday 17th July 2011, 19:15

Often we see prizes from the Lotto and Euromillions go to good causes when they have not been claimed in time, but the unclaimed Lotto prizes for June include a UK Lotto jackpot worth almost £1 million! Tonight the Euromillions draw takes place and tomorrow we have the UK Lotto, but before you rush out to buy lottery tickets, why don’t you just have a quick check of any old tickets that might be lying around? They could be worth more than you think!

Time is running out for the first prize winner, as the prize expires on Monday! This UK Lotto five and the bonus win is worth £62,729 but if the winner doesn’t come forward by Monday, they’ll miss out forever. This lottery ticket was sold in the Borough of Harrogate for the UK Lotto draw held on 8th December, so if you buy lottery tickets in this area, check your old tickets now.

Next up is a Lotto jackpot, or a share of one at least, worth £956,813. This lottery ticket was sold in the Vale of White Horse, Oxfordshire for the UK Lotto draw held on 18th December. The ticket holder only now has until June 16th to make themselves known to lottery officials or the prize will be added to the fund for good causes.

These are life-changing sums of money and it would be a real shame if they weren’t reunited with their winners. Let’s hope this little nudge acts as a reminder for players to check old lottery tickets!
