Unclaimed prizes (over £50,000)
Request
Please could you provide a comprehensive list of all unclaimed (over £50,000) Lotto, EuroMillions, Thunderball, Millionaire Maker, and Millionaire raffle prizes between 30th April 2020 and April 30th 2021?
I understand that unclaimed prizes are registered as such after 180 days, so the details of any unclaimed prizes you provide should date from the 1st November, 2020 to 1st November 2021.
