Post subject:  Unclaimed jackpot deadline looms
Time is running out for the holder of a £9.5m jackpot-winning lottery ticket to claim the prize - the largest unclaimed fortune in the draw's history.

The unsuspecting winner, who bought the ticket in Doncaster, has already lost out on almost £215,000 in interest since the numbers came up last 6 July.

The winning numbers are: 3, 12, 17, 36, 44 and 49.

If the £9,476,995 prize is not claimed by 1730 GMT on Monday the cash goes to the Lotto's Good Causes fund.

So far £100m has gone unclaimed on the draws.

The largest unclaimed jackpot before this was worth more than £7m.

That ticket, bought in Belfast in August 2004, was never handed in.

Twenty-two people have missed out on becoming millionaires since the lottery began by not claiming their prizes, Camelot said.

Winners have 180 days to submit their claim.
