Unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes

Request

Please could you tell me how many £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes went unclaimed in 2013?

Response

Thank you for your request which has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

In your email you have requested information relating to how many £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes went unclaimed in 2013.

The £20,000 Lotto Raffle Prize was introduced in October 2013. Unclaimed prizes are not registered as unclaimed until 180 days after the prize is ‘won’. On that basis, there would not have been any unclaimed prizes registered until at least April 2014. Therefore, there were no prizes relating to the £20,000 Lotto Raffle that went unclaimed in 2013.
