£1 Million EuroMillions Ticket Goes Unclaimed in Bournemouth Area After Deadline

The money shifts to National Lottery projects under rules that reallocate unclaimed prizes.

Overview

  • Allwyn confirmed Tuesday that no valid claim was made after the 180‑day window closed at midnight on Sunday, May 3.
  • The winning ticket was bought in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area for a EuroMillions Millionaire Maker draw on November 4, 2025.
  • With no claim lodged, the £1 million prize and any interest will go to National Lottery Good Causes, which receive about £33 million each week.
  • Allwyn said it mounted an extensive search for the mystery ticket‑holder, who has now lost a life‑changing sum.
  • Lottery rules give winners 180 days to come forward, so local groups in and around Bournemouth could see added support as these funds flow into existing grants.
