National Lottery and Euromillions tickets: £5.9 million unclaimed - locations and numbers

Life-changing amounts of money won on the National Lottery are lying unclaimed - and the clock is ticking for the winners to receive their prizes.

Lottery winners have six months to claim winnings, but not all have, and several people are likely to be blissfully unaware of the million-pound ticket sitting in their wallet or purse, or perhaps on their online account.
