A winner of a £2.6 million prize in the National Lottery has failed to claim her
or his prize within the allotted 180 days, so the sum is credited to the good causes
fund.
The winning Lotto Extra ticket had been bought in Northumberland for the 10
May 2003 draw. Coincidentally, that is the same area in which another large prize
went unclaimed in February 2003, this time for £2,928,214.

The latest unclaimed prize generated £35,000 in interest during the 180 days, and
this too is added to the good causes fund.
