A British guy from Devon (South West England), who had won £6.9million at the National Lottery, lost his prize because he didn’t come to claim it.

The winners are given 180 days to claim their prizes otherwise they will lose any rights to claim it after.

A National Lottery spokesman said:

“We were desperate to unite the ticket-holder with their winnings. This amazing prize could have really made a difference to somebody’s life.”

Look on the bright side: the money are now given away to charity!
