A South Londoner is owed over £10.5million and they don’t know it. It’s according to the National Lottery’s unclaimed prizes page, which shows the location of the unclaimed ticket, and how much is owed.
Someone in the London Borough of Bexley is owed an eye-watering £10,633,323 from the Match 6 game, where the player matches six numbers between one and 59. They have until April 2 to claim their prize or else they'll lose it.
Elsewhere two separate people in Birmingham are owed £1million each, while someone is West Dorset £10,000 each month for life to claim. In Gloucestershire, Bournemouth, and Broxbourne, three separate people are also owed £1million each.
If a prize is not claimed within six months of the draw date, the prize and its interest it will go to benefit National Lottery Projects across the UK.
National Lottery Claiming depends on whether you’ve won online, or via a retail product such as a scratch card. If you’ve been playing online and won up to £30,000 you can claim it in-app.
All you need to do is confirm the card that is linked to your account by following the instructions in your winning message. This must be done before 11pm on the last day of the claim period.
But if you’ve won big bucks, which in this case is over £30,000 then you need to ring 0333 234 44 33. Things are slightly different for those playing via retail products.
If you’ve won up to £100 you can claim it in-store, whereas those who’ve won between £500 and £50,000 can be claimed online here. If you’ve won £50,000 and up then you have to ring 0333 234 44 33.
