Seven days to claim £4 million

Somebody could be £4,000,000 better off and not know it. The large jackpot prize was won in the draw on 1st January, 2005, but remains unclaimed. Since all prizes must be claimed within 180 days, that means the winner must prove their ownership of the winning ticket by 30th June. The winning numbers were 4-6-9-12-15-40 and the winning ticket was bought in Richmond-upon-Thames.

So check your pockets, wallets, purses and handbags. If the money isn't claimed it goes into the 'good causes' fund. According to the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, over £100 million remained unclaimed last year!
