Unclaimed lotto prizes growing by $10m every year

By: Newstalk ZB staff | New Zealand News | Sunday May 13 2012 8:48

 

The Lotteries Commission has revealed it's sitting on a mountain of unclaimed prize money, which grows by $10 million every year.

The New Zealand Herald reports that since 2005, $75 million worth of prizes have remained untouched.

Mostly of it is in smaller amounts but there are two unclaimed First Division tickets both worth more than $300,000.

Both were bought at the same shop at Beachlands near Auckland and only a few weeks apart.
