Lost ticket yields £9.4 million for good causes

Howard Lake | 6 January 2006 | News

Due to a jackpot winner not coming forward to claim their prize the National Lottery good causes are £9.4 million better off. Of this sum, Northern Ireland will get an extra £380,000.




On the day it was announced that London had won the bid to host the Olympics in 2012 a lotto ticket bought in Doncaster won a jackpot of £9,476,995. However, the jackpot was never claimed and expired on 2 January 2006 meaning the prize amount – plus interest, is given to the good causes fund.
