Scottish Lotto Player Lost Cash Prize
15/10/2008 04:48:47
A National Lottery ticket worth £117,000 purchased in the East Kilbride area of Scotland has gone unclaimed. It’s now 180 days since the lottery draw that produced the winning ticket which means one Scottish Player lost the cash prize.
The National Lottery draw was held on Saturday 5th April 2008 and the ticket matched five main numbers and the bonus ball giving a jackpot of £117,000. However the ticket holder has not come forward within the 180 days deadline and now the cash, plus any interest it has earned will go back into the Lottery good causes fund.
National Lottery good causes have raised £21 billion since the Lottery’s launch back in 1994 and this will be another boost to the fund. If you believe you may hold a winning ticket for a past National Lottery draw then you should call the National Lottery helpline and check your ticket.
