A lottery winner has missed the chance to claim a 1-million pound prize.

The ticket was bought in Dundee back in March, but the deadline to claim the prize has passed without the holder claiming the prize.

The National Lottery bosses say the money, plus an ‘Ultimate Luxury Safari’, had been unclaimed for more than 180 days and now the cash will go towards charities across the country.

Senior Winners’ Advisor at The National Lottery, Andy Carter said: “Unfortunately, I can confirm that the ticket-holder did not come forward within the deadline to claim their prize and has now sadly missed out on this amazing prize.

“We tried very hard to find the ticket-holder and it’s a real shame that they have missed out, but there is still one winner – the nation.

“This money, and all the interest earned over the 180 days, will now go to benefit projects all over the UK funded by The National Lottery.”
