and not know it wow

A lottery winner has lost out on a £63.8m windfall after missing the deadline to claim the prize.

The EuroMillions ticket for the 8 June draw was bought in the Stevenage or Hitchin area of Hertfordshire.

The missing ticket-holder matched all five numbers - 5, 11, 22, 34 and 40 - and the Lucky Star numbers - 9 and 11.

The deadline to claim the money was 23:00 GMT on Wednesday. It is the biggest unclaimed lottery win in history.

A National Lottery spokeswoman said: "Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this staggering amount of money.

"The vast majority of prizes are claimed within the 180 days but to avoid this unfortunate situation happening again, we would urge all National Lottery players to check their tickets on a regular basis."

The money, and the interest it has generated, will go to the National Lottery Good Causes.

I wouldn't say no to £60 million quid but if you had it it would be a major headache ...you'd go mad and end up on strung out on drugs...that amount of money would kill an average chap like meself in a few monthsireland

I could see myself giving the vast majority of it away.
Once I had a decent house, a few pound in the bank and money to put my son through college, then that'd be enough for me.
Thankfully I rarely drink, dont smoke and wouldnt touch drugs.

I am glad the money goes to the national lottery good causes. I think unclaimed prizes go back into new prizes in this country not to good causes.

i think the lotto set up is wrong, the difference between the jackpot and second is madness conversing

i can remember a lotto back home in holland years ago if the jackpot wasn't won it got divided over the 5 and 4 number winners, that way even on 4 nums ya could end up winning 10/20grand instead of the messely 30/40euro ya get now dunno

baldydude: that maybe, but i've proved i can handle being poor, wouldn't mind trying it out to see if i could handle the strain of being filthy rich

besides, i've an ex wife and kids so i'm sure the money would vanish fairly lively anyways


You could have 50 families and thousands of children and you'd still be stinking richconversing
