The £1 million lotto prize winner purchased his/her Lotto Millionaire Raffle (April 8) ticket from Aberdeen (Scotland). No ticket holder came forward. Hence, the punter missed out his/her card claiming deadline. To benefit the good causes, the cash will now go to community projects.

The officials of National Lottery had allowed the winner to claim his/her ticket until yesterday. In adherence to a spokesman, the National Lottery raises over £30 million every week. This fund distributed to good causes via 14 funding agencies. “With all National Lottery draws, players have 180 days from the draw to claim their prize if they are a winner,” he added.

So to participate in any Lotto game, the punters need to select six numbers from a slot of 1 through 59. A punter can decide the number of lines he/she wants to play. National Lottery allows up to 7 lines. For evening’s drawings, Lotto authorities stop its ticket sales from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm on Wednesday and Saturday.
