Every week the EuroMillions jackpot allows a lucky few to earn a life-changing amount of money. 6 people who won a prize from this draw in the UK could lose their money if they do not come to claim it 180 days after the draw took place, according to our sources.
An inhabitant of the Walsall metropolitan area obtained the £ 1 million prize on September 18, giving you just over a month (until March 17) to claim your prize. Likewise, a citizen of Belfast has until the 31st of that month to do the same with a prize of the same value.
The tickets of three other people from the UK were awarded with “The Million.” Is about three residents of Conventry, Brentwood and Sefton counting until May 5, June 30, and July 14 for the claim. The list is closed by a Wellinbourough person who has until June 30 to redeem your £ 72,215 prize.
According to the official EuroMillions page, a citizen earned 63.8 million pounds (about 73 million euros) in 2012, but never went to claim it.
Claim period and destination
In the case of the UK, where there are six people who have not claimed their prize, the money would go to fund social causes after the 180 days are up without claim. In Spain, the time available to claim a prize is less, 90 days, and, if not, the money, in this case, goes directly to the Treasury.
In France, the time is even shorter than in Spain, reaching only 60 days. Last year, a Marseille citizen lost a prize of more than 1 million euros for not claiming the prize in time. In France, no information is provided on the places where the great lottery prizes have “fallen” until the collection period is over.
