Major lottery prize claims in United Kingdom and Canada
Overview
In the United Kingdom, several large prizes have been claimed. A winner in the London Borough of Lewisham claimed a £5,844,340 Lotto jackpot from a September 26 draw, with the operator, Allwyn, conducting a formal validation process. Additionally, five neighbors in Cowes on the Isle of Wight shared a £1 million People’s Postcode Lottery prize.
In Tameside, a winner claimed a £1 million Lotto prize from a July 1st draw after local appeals were made by National Lottery officials to find the holder.
In Canada, a $40 million Lotto Max jackpot in Ontario was validated at a lottery terminal just hours before its expiration deadline. The winning ticket was originally purchased in Grey County, and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation had previously launched an awareness campaign to locate the holder.
