An unclaimed lottery ticket worth £1 million is held by someone in the East Midlands. Lotto chiefs said there are a number of people who are yet to come forward and claim the prize from January.
Lottery winners have a limited time to claim their prize before it is too late, with £8million of jackpots still unclaimed, according to one expert. National Lottery winners' advisor, Andy Carter, told The Sun that Brits have only six months to claim their cash.
Leicestershire Live reports that a draw in January created 24 new millionaires but five people still have not claimed their prize. And while those who have lost tickets might think that they have lost any chance they had, Andy says players should not worry.
