In the world of The National Lottery, there are currently more than £8 million in unclaimed jackpots waiting to be won. Time is ticking away for those who hold winning tickets, as the deadline to claim is approaching quickly. But with a £15 million "Must Be Won" jackpot up for grabs on Christmas Day, there is still hope for lucky ticket holders.
However, since September, there have been numerous prizes worth a total of £8,064,694 that have gone unclaimed. Among these unclaimed prizes are four £1 million jackpots and a lifetime supply of £10,000 a month for 30 years. That's a whopping £3,600,000 over the course of its lifetime. There are also several other wins worth tens of thousands of pounds that have yet to be claimed.
If these prizes remain unclaimed before the 180-day deadline, the money will be used to support National Lottery-funded projects all across the UK. So not only will the lucky winners miss out on their life-changing prizes, but the potential good that could be done with the money will also go unrealized.
