Lottery Winners News

If you had tickets in the midweek UK Lotto draw then there’s no doubt you’ll be keen to check the lotto results this morning and see if you are a lottery millionaire. The draw went off without event and the jackpot was worth £2.3 million. Just one millionaire was created as one player matched all six winning numbers and walked away with the jackpot.

The chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority, John Armitt has said this week that the Olympic fund cannot guarantee that all money taking from National Lottery good causes fund would be returned to the pot as originally promised.

Unclaimed prizes on the UK Lotto are thankfully rare but this month there are two unclaimed lottery prizes that are about to expire and one of those is a £3 million jackpot! It’s hard to believe that someone could have overlooked a lottery prize of that magnitude but it’s happened and if it isn’t claimed by March 22nd the whole prize and all the interest it has accrued will go into the fund for good causes.

Lottery funds for good causes is a big reason the lottery is so appealing and now it has been announced that there will be lotto cash for dementia sufferers and young people leaving care in the form of a £50 million grant from the Big Lottery Fund.

For the first time in ages last night, we saw the UK Lotto jackpot at a £7 million high. A lotto rollover pushed the jackpot up and it actually looked like one player may win a large chunk of cash but in the event there was a big share on the lotto rollover with four players sharing the £7.2 million jackpot.

Yesterday we brought you news of all the exciting lottery rollover draws of the weekend, as both the Euromillions Lottery and UK National Lottery produced no winners in the last draw. Last night it was the turn of the Euromillions Lottery and the jackpot has been won by a single player from Europe, making them over £40 million richer!

It’s the weekend finally and it really is getting off to a bang with a lotto rollovers. Both the Euromillions and the UK Lotto see rollover draws this weekend sending the whole country into lottery frenzy. Tonight’s Euromillions Lottery has a £40 million rollover jackpot up for grabs and then tomorrow it’s the turn of the UK Lotto, that one rolled over in the week and is worth an estimated £7.5 million!

I think we all have a wish list. An item that would be our first big purchase should our six lucky numbers come up. Are any of those items on your wish list a flock of sheep? Unlikely, but it was one of the purchases thrown up in the unusual lottery purchases list thrown up in a recent book release.

Unclaimed prizes on the UK Lotto are thankfully rare, yet this month sees two unclaimed lottery prizes expire if the winning players do not come forward. Now unclaimed prizes for smaller division prizes are more common but one of this month’s unclaimed prizes is a lotto jackpot about to expire.

If rumours are to be believed then a lotto syndicate from Kidderminster has scooped a £4.8 million UK Lotto prize. The winners have opted for no publicity, hence the hush, hush nature of the news. However rumour has it that they are a pub syndicate made up of four members, and that makes a tidy £1.2 million each!
