Six Lottery Winners Are Still Missing — Millions Remain Unclaimed

Winning the lottery is the dream—millions in the bank and life set forever. But believe it or not, some people have already won big and don’t even know it yet.

The National Lottery has revealed six massive prizes still waiting to be claimed. If the winners don’t come forward within about six months of the draw date, the money won’t disappear—but it will be redirected to charity projects instead. In short: time is ticking.

Big Wins Still Sitting Unclaimed

Here’s a snapshot of the life-changing prizes still up for grabs:

• £10.6 million Lotto jackpot
  A ticket bought in Bexley, London for the October 4 draw matched all the right numbers. The winner has until April 2 to claim it.

• £1 million EuroMillions prize – Birmingham
  Purchased for the August 15 draw under the Millionaire Maker promotion. Deadline to claim: February 11, 2026.

• £10,000 a month for one year – West Dorset
  From the October 16 Set For Life draw. The lucky player has until April 14 next year to come forward.

• Another £1 million EuroMillions win – Broxbourne
  Ticket bought for the October 31 draw. Claim deadline: April 29, 2026.

• £1 million Lotto prize – South Gloucestershire
  Won on the November 1 draw. The winner must claim it by April 30.

• £1 million EuroMillions prize – Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
  From the November 4 Millionaire Maker draw. The deadline is May 5.

Why This Matters

• Winners have around 180 days from the draw date to make a valid claim

• Miss the deadline, and the prize money is permanently redirected to charity

• Many winners don’t check their tickets—or forget they even bought one
