Unclaimed lottery prizes: £12m Lotto jackpot and £6m in millionaire prizes still waiting

The £12m Lotto jackpot nobody has claimed

A Lotto ticket bought in Rhondda Cynon Taf, South Wales, matched all six numbers in the draw on Saturday 6 June 2026. It won £12,000,000. Nearly four months later, nobody has come forward.

The winning numbers were 8, 10, 26, 30, 35 and 42. The last day to claim is Thursday 3 December 2026. After that, the money and any interest it has earned go to National Lottery good causes.

Think it might be you?

Check the draw date on your ticket first, then the numbers. For the newer Lotto prizes, check Round 2, because that’s where those winning lines came up. Our guide to checking your ticket shows how, and Have my numbers won? can check your usual numbers against past draws.

Any prize over £50,000 has to be claimed in person. Ring the National Lottery first: 0333 234 50 50 if you bought the ticket in a shop, or 0333 234 44 33 if you played online. They register the win and arrange a time. Our guide to claiming a prize covers every route.

What if you’ve lost the ticket?

If you played online, the win is already in your account. If you bought a paper ticket and lost it, a claim normally has to be reported in writing within 30 days of the draw. That window has closed for most of these prizes, but it can still be worth contacting the operator. Our guide to a lost lottery ticket explains how.

Martyn Tott lost a £3m Lotto ticket in 2000 and never got a penny, because he reported it too late.

What happens to unclaimed money

UK draw game prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw. If nobody claims, the prize and the interest it earned go to National Lottery good causes across the UK. The winner can’t get it back later.

The National Lottery says some of these prizes may already have a claim being checked. We’ll update this page when the big ones are paid or the deadlines pass.
