£1m Lotto prize goes unclaimed

A £1m National Lottery Millionaire Raffle prize has gone unclaimed in North Lanarkshire.

The ticket-holder had until midnight on Monday, May 22, to claim the cash.

As the deadline has now passed the money, plus the interest it earned, will now go to help National Lottery-funded projects across the UK.

Andy Carter, senior winners’advisor at The National Lottery said: “Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this substantial amount of money.

“We tried very hard to find the ticket-holder and it’s a real shame that they have missed out, but there is still one winner – the nation.

“This money, and all the interest earned over the 180 days, will now go to benefit projects all over the UK funded by The National Lottery.”
