a significant chance in that. The list of winning tickets that haven’t been claimed, verified, or paid for has been updated by the National Lottery.

Six of the almost dozen ignorant ticket holders have a £1,000,000 that might change their lives waiting to be claimed.

A few days are allotted to some ticket holders to claim their rewards; awards that remain unclaimed six months after the draw date are immediately forfeited.

In the event that no one wins a legitimate claim, the money and interest accrued are distributed to National Lottery Projects around the United Kingdom.

These community monies are used for conferences and workshops, as well as for operating food banks and hosting movie screenings for underprivileged communities.

One of the most recent winners is a resident of Camden, north London, who struck it rich in the EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker drawing on February 23.

The owner of the winning code, XSPW63863, has until August 21 to pick up their prize.
