Since the UK Lottery was established it has made millionaires out of over eight million individuals. But what is that old saying that goes with any gambling? How are you going to win if you never play? In November of'94 the UK Lottery was established. Over 750,000 players win prizes on a weekly basis.
UK Lottery Biggest Win In June'95 the largest individual ticket win took place in UK Lottery history. The ticket was worth 22,590,829 Pounds. The prize was shared by two Brighton residents, Paul Maddison and Mark Gardiner. A winners right to anonymity wasn't put into effect until December of 94. This option was put on the table after the identity of a 17.44 million Pounds winner from Blackburn was released to the media. This winner was a very shy and reserved Asian factory. Even though he kept to himself,the leak made it real easy for the media to track him down.
Biggest Jackpot Winner in the UK National Lottery The biggest UK National Lottery prize was 42,008,610, which was split by three people holding a ticket in January'96. The biggest winner from Europe happened with the Irish lottery, when a woman from Limerick won 77million, while a whole town in Spain actually was winners of a life-changing US$263 in the El Gordo lottery.
Biggest Lottery Win in the World However, every one of these lottery jackpots sounds like pennies compared to what was the biggest jackpot of all -- $365 million, (210 million) that a fortunate person from Nebraska in the United States won with a Powerball ticket. His name was Alain Maboussou and he was an immigrant from the Republic of Congo who worked at a meatpacking plant. He drove people crazy because he didn't try to pick up his winnings immediately. It goes without saying that he stopped working right after getting the news.
Unclaimed Prizes and Sports of The National Lottery This might be hard to believe, but there are many National Lottery winning tickets that go unclaimed. Get out there and get your money people. Between march and July 2006, there was a total of 5,313,852.50 Pounds of unclaimed prizes. If these ticket holders to hurry up, by the time the calender hits 2007, all this prize money will be relinquished. This money will be given to charities by the National Lottery.
Unclaimed lottery prizes from recent drawings are sitting one if from a Euro Million draw and the other is from a Thunder Ball Draw (hey isn't that a cartoon?). The most amazing winner is from the same day, could you imagine the chances of that. Two people the same day, both won million dollar jackpots and neither one of them checked their tickets.
What goes on in someone's life that would cause him or her to not check his or her tickets? Maybe it was the day of the Olympics, or the Tour de France rode through your town. There has to be a pretty significant event going on in someone's life to bypass the 2 minutes it takes to see if you are a millionaire. So why let all of those unclaimed millions that sit there waiting for the lucky win to claim it. Stop what you are doing; forget about that sport injury from your favorite player, I know you are excited about the 2012 Olympics. Check your lottery tickets, you do know the UK Lottery is making Millionaires on a weekly basis and just think how great you will look with a million dollar or more in you bank account. - 29852
