Winning ticket details released as people only have weeks to claim in some cases
For many people it’s the ultimate dream – scoop millions on the lottery and then spend the rest of your life in luxury. However some people have actually achieved it – and they don’t know.
The National Lottery has released details of six people who have won – but have not as yet come forward to claim their prizes. And if they don’t take action soon the money will be used for good causes instead.
The lottery said: “The big prizes below have either not been claimed, or have not yet been validated and paid. We hope a lucky player comes forward in time but if a valid claim is not received within 180 days (around 6 months) of the draw date, the prize and any interest earned on it will go to benefit National Lottery Projects across the UK.
“If you think you’re a winner, find out how to claim. Any unclaimed prizes 6 months past the draw date will be automatically removed.”
