If there was ever a good reason to keep your lottery tickets safe then this is it, a player in the UK National Lottery has lost their National Lottery prize after failing to collect within the allotted time. The prize worth almost £400,000 will now go back into the fund for good causes after the winner failed to claim their prize within the stated time.
If you play the UK National Lottery you have 180 days to claim your prize, if prizes are not claimed within this time then the amount goes back into the good causes fund and is lost to the winner forever.
The ticket in question, bought in Warrington, Cheshire matched five numbers and the bonus ball to win almost £400,000 but after failing to collect the prize within the 180 day deadline lost the prize.
Now if you purchase your National Lottery tickets online this cannot possibly happen, this is because the National Lottery check the results for you and notify you of any wins you may have on the ticket. You can play for up to eight weeks in advance and of course being digitally stored means that you cannot possibly lose your ticket either.
So if you want to make sure you don’t miss out on any lottery prizes you may win maybe you should start playing online as it’s the safest and most convenient way to play the national Lottery.
