Lottery prizes of pounds 223m unclaimed

JUST OVER pounds 223m of National Lottery prize money has been left unclaimed, the Government disclosed last night. Junior Culture minister Tony Banks said in a Commons written reply that the largest single unclaimed prize was just over pounds 2m. After 180 days, prizes still unclaimed are paid to the Lottery Fund's good causes.
