Two Lotto Jackpots unclaimed
Last Updated: Thursday 7th July 2011, 15:55
It’s hard to believe but in the list of unclaimed lotto prizes from the National Lottery there are two lotto jackpots unclaimed. Both jackpot prizes are life changing amounts of cash and players only have a limited time to claim. The two lotto jackpots, both worth over £3 million each are just two of the unclaimed lottery prizes into the New Year. Although the largest they are by no means the only unclaimed prizes, three of which expire during January.
These are the only two main UK Lotto jackpots however and as each is worth over £3 million it’s amazing that no one has come forward to claim their prize.
The first unclaimed lotto jackpot was sold back in September in the Inverness area of Scotland. Matching all six numbers for the 23rd September draw this ticket is worth over £3.6 million. The winner only has until 22nd March to claim this prize so start checking those old lotto tickets now.
Then, just before Christmas in early December a winning UK Lotto ticket was sold in the Dover area, this one also matched all six winning numbers in the 2nd December Lotto draw and is worth a staggering £3.7 million. This winner has until 31st May to come forward and claim their life-changing lottery prize.
It’s astounding how many players don’t claim big lottery prizes. All unclaimed prizes go into the fund for good causes if not claimed within the deadline but it really is important to check those lottery tickets properly and don’t forget where they are. Alternatively, buy lotto tickets online through our National Lottery pages and never miss another prize again.
