在伍斯特郡，有250万英镑无人认领的中奖彩票。你是否知道赢家是谁？
这似乎不可思议，但在伍斯特郡有一个250万英镑的中奖彩票仍然在中奖得主。该得主或者丢失了他或她的彩票，正在发疯，或者没有对彩票进行检查。该中奖彩票诞生大约在两个月前。
乐透彩的得主匹配绘制的所有6个号码。确切的中奖数额是2525485英镑。
彩票有下列电话号码：6，9，20，21，31和34，是在伍斯特或马尔文地区购买的。如果有谁知道的赢家，请让他们拨打全国彩票热线吧！
香槟是冰，如果你认为是你，请检查您的旧票，在沙发后面翻找看看，也许彩票就躺在那里。如果没有人来认领，这250万英镑将捐给慈善机构。国家彩票线是0845 910 0000。
得到这个消息，我们思考了很久，为什么每年都有中奖彩票无人认领的事情发生呢？
如果你在谷歌上以“无人认领的彩票”进行快速搜索，它会抛出两个无人认领的中奖彩票，一个是加利福尼亚州彩票，另一个是无人认领的是乐透奖彩票，在美国华盛顿州。中奖数额为340万美元。
难以置信！
每年有多少彩票无人认领？无人认领彩票每年都有数百万英镑。 2006年三月至七月间，有5313000英镑无人认领。估计情况各不相同，但一般地，在英国每个星期有2万英镑彩票无人认领。在2008年，有近250亿英镑捐给给慈善机构，而不是给获奖者。去年德文郡Euromillions得主失去了690万英镑，或许是她（或他）忘记了（或不知道他们不得不）领奖。
这引出了一个问题，为什么他们没有一个系统，让你留下电话号码或电子邮件地址可以联系到你吗？反正最终受益的将是慈善机构。
如果你懒得去检查你的号码，无论如何，你不值得拥有那些彩票财富。

It seems incredible, but there is a two and a half MILLION Lottery ticket in Worcestershire that is still waiting for a claimant. The National Lottery winner has either lost his or her ticket, hasn?t checked it or has gone bonkers. The win happened around two months ago.
The winner of the Lotto ticket matched all 6 numbers in the midweek draw on March 11 – and has the rest of the summer to claim （until September 7）。 The exact win was ?2,525,485.
The ticket had the following numbers: 6, 9, 20, 21, 31 and 34 and was purchased in the Worcester or Malvern areas. If anyone knows the winner, GET THEM TO CALL THE NATIONAL LOTTERY NOW!
The champagne is on ice- if you think it?s you, check your old tickets, look down the back of the sofa and rummage around under the car seats- just find the ticket. If no-one claims the two and a half million quid before September, the cash will go to charity. The National Lottery Line is 0845 910 0000.
This piece of news got us thinking. How many lottery wins go unclaimed each year?
If you do a quick search on google for “unclaimed lottery”， it throws up news on two unclaimed winning tickets lin the Bay Area （California State Lottery）， an unclaimed lotto prize of almost ?74 grand from last month?s draw （bought in the London borough of Tower Hamlets: 5 numbers plus the bonus ball in the Saturday, April 25 2009 draw） and a $3.4 million unclaimed Lotto jackpot in Washington USA.
Unbelievable!
How many lottery tickets go unclaimed each year? Well, millions of pounds go unclaimed every year. Between March and July 2006 ?5,313,000 was unclaimed. Estimates vary, but it is thought that about ?2 million in lottery wins are unclaimed every single week. And that?s just in the UK. In 1 week in 2008 nearly two and a half million pounds went to charity instead of to the winners. Last year a Euromillions winner from Devon lost ?6.9 million when he or she forgot （or didn?t know they had to） claim the prize.
Which begs the question- why don?t they have a system whereby you leave a phone number or email address so that you can be contacted? Probably because these “lost millions” go to a worthwhile cause anyway- the ultimate loser would be the charities.
If you are too lazy to check your numbers, you don?t deserve the windfall anyway, I guess.
