Hunt on for 3 Million Pound UK Lottery Winner - 04-18-09 |
April 18 - While the UK National Lottery is no stranger to creating plenty of instant lucky lotto millionaires throughout the British Isles, what is pretty unusual is when a sizeable lottery jackpot is won and remains unclaimed for a lengthy period of time, such as the 3 million pound lotto jackpot that is still unclaimed.
According to a UK National Lottery spokesperson, the lucky winner is most probably just unaware that they're sitting on a lottery ticket worth an absolute fortune. 'We're urging everyone to check their old lottery tickets again or look anywhere that a missing lotto ticket could possibly be hiding so that we can pay them.'
Wise words indeed, especially given these tough economic times that have seen a mass 'belt-tightening' across the United Kingdom amongst the 'have nots' and even some of the 'haves'. As global economic crises continues to take hold of Britain, more people are playing the UK Lottery in hope of winning instant riches.
The anonymous winning lottery ticket holder is thought to have purchased his or her ticket in the town of Edinburgh in Scotland. Speculation in Britain is rife as two whether the winner is being canny and will cash in the larger lotto ticket when all the fuss has died down, or whether they are just unaware of their windfall.
The precise amount of the outstanding UK lottery jackpot is 2,783,114 pounds, which was won by a single lotto ticket containing the numbers 2, 17, 19, 28, 31, 47. Said the National Lottery spokesperson, 'We're absolutely desperate to find this mystery ticket-holder and unite them with their massive winnings.'
The lottery winner has until September 24 this year to claim their winnings, or every penny will be donated to the UK National Lottery's Good Causes fund. Each year, over a billion pounds is generated by the UK lotto which goes towards many worthy charities, projects, causes and more to benefit Great Britain.
According to a recent news report, in 2009 alone the UK National Lottery will pay out over 1.9 billion pounds in payouts and jackpots to tens of thousands of lottery fans around the UK. The National Lottery has two draws every week, and is one of the most popular form of gambling in the UK today.
