Lottery Winner Misses Out on £11m Prize

A French player won €13 million on the Super Loto but did not claim it. The winner had until a certain time to come forward.
The winner had only a few hours left to claim the money. If they did not, the money would go back into the prize pot.
The lottery operator told the winner to contact them. The winning numbers were 12, 16, 2, 20, 26, and the Chance number 2.
The operator made public appeals to find the winner. They announced it during the lottery draw broadcasts.
A French player won a big prize on the Super Loto.
If the prize is not claimed, it will be put back into play as winnings.
The public appeals did not work, and the prize was returned to the pot.
The operator knew which store sold the ticket but could not say due to rules.
This was the biggest unclaimed prize. The previous record was €8 million.
On average, only two people forget their tickets each year.
The big cash prize was returned to the prize pot.
This is similar to another story about an unclaimed lottery ticket in the UK.
A £12m jackpot winner in Wales had not come forward. They have until December 3 to claim the money.
The winning ticket matched all six main numbers. The winner's advisor called it an incredible win.
The advisor said someone is a multi-millionaire without knowing it. They are urging people to check their tickets.
The advisor wants people to check if they were in the area when the ticket was bought. Maybe the winner was just visiting.
