Briton scoops huge £81 million lottery jackpot
A Briton tonight scooped a huge £81 million by landing the EuroMillions jackpot.
The mystery winner's gargantuan haul is not the largest ever won on the lottery but puts the ticket-holder sixth on the National Lottery Rich List.
A National Lottery spokesman said: "We've been giving the rest of Europe a chance to win big this year but Lady Luck is clearly shining back down on the UK once again.
"This new jackpot winning ticket-holder flies into sixth place in the exclusive National Lottery Rich List just behind an anonymous ticket-holder who won £84.4 million in May 2010.
Double lottery winner says: "It's not that special"
Watch George Traykov answer questions from journalists who appear much more excited about his win than he does.
A man who won the lottery twice has appeared distinctly underwhelmed by his success. At a press conference, George Traykov, who's from Ilford, said he was not "that bothered" by winning £160,000 on the Euromillions, on top of a previous £1 million win.
Mr Traykov, who never picks his own numbers and always plays the lucky dip, was so laid back about his second big money win that he didn't even claim it until two months after the prize draw in November.
Mr Traykov, who's originally from Bulgaria, bought his winning ticket at a Tesco store in Barking and could maybe one day make it a hat-trick of wins as he said he planned to carry on playing.
Mystery lottery winner loses out on £64 million
A mystery lottery player has lost out on a £64 million fortune after the deadline for them to claim the life-changing prize expired.
The unlucky individual, who bought the winning EuroMillions ticket in Hertfordshire, had until 11pm today to collect the massive windfall.
But despite a National Lottery publicity campaign, the would-be multi-millionaire missed the 180-day deadline - making the £63,837,543.60 prize the biggest unclaimed lottery win in history.
The bumper haul of money, plus all the interest it has generated, will now go to the National Lottery Good Causes - adding to the £29 billion already raised through sales of lottery tickets since the National Lottery launched in November 1994.
Last chance to claim £63.8 million EuroMillions prize
A mystery lottery winner has one last chance to claim what could turn out to be an early, and very welcome, Christmas present.
A EuroMillions prize won on June 8th, worth nearly £64 million still hasn't been claimed. The deadline to come forward is 11pm tonight.
The National Lottery has tried to find the ticketholder using adverts, posters and even a town crier.
