Would Premium Bonds Work In The US?Reply
THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR CLAIMING YOUR PRIZE (ONE UNCLAIMED PRIZE DATES BACK TO 1957) Across the UK over 928,000 Premium Bonds prizes worth over 41 million remain unclaimed. NS I are calling for Premium Bonds holders to come forward to claim their prizes, and to sign-up to have their winnings paid directly into their bank accounts to reduce the chances of prizes going unclaimed in future. Premium Bonds prize warrants can go undelivered and unclaimed as a result of changes in Prem

Unclaimed Powerball Jackpot set to Expire in NYReply
Regarding your question of finding the winner, as of last December the lottery claimed to be actively seeking the individual(s). I assume that holds true now. I think that in New York any unclaimed prize money is returned to the player prize pool. For multi-state games like Powerball, all the participating states receive back their share of the jackpot sales. So New York won't be getting the full $73,356,671.49 if indeed the prize goes unclaimed.

Are you due a prize bond windfall?
Irish Prize Bonds have around 1.5 million in unclaimed prize bonds looking for an owner. Each of these four tickets is worth around 20,000 but the prizes have gone unclaimed for as long as 19 years. If the ticket holder dies, then the ticket gets passed on to their heirs and prizes start earning interest if they remain unclaimed for more than six months. The Prize Bond Company has also introduced a monthly 1 million prize, the most recent prize was won last Friday by a Kilkenny resident

254 million dollar ticketReply
Copied and pasted from the FAQs on the Powerball website: Except for the jackpot (and the BONUS prize whenever it is in effect), all unclaimed prizes are kept by the lottery jurisdiction that has the winner. About half of the lotteries are required to put the money back into a game. The other half is required by law to turn the money over to the state's general fund. The jackpot money and BONUS prize pool are treated differently. If these two prize pools are unclaimed, The money must be retur

unclaimed Canadian Lottery ticketsReply
No there isn't a list of unclaimed prizes. All lotteries after one year of the draw date put any unclaimed prize money into an unclaimed prize fund . This fund is then returned to the players through bonus draws and bonus jackpots in the case of Lotto 649 and Super 7. This past month there has been four large bonus jackpots for Super 7. For example, even though the $27 milllion was won last week; the jackpot is at $30 million for this Friday-- thanks to the money in the unclaimed prize fu

Where should the money go?Reply
I feel so bad about my laps of good judgement that I'm now going to push for laws that will forward ALL FUTURE UNCLAIMED prizes directly to mc or his descendants. This should be done on a nation wide basis with ALL unclaimed prises in EVERY state no matter large or small the prize may be. EVERY unclaimed prize in EVERY states goes to mc, from now on.

Unclaimed PrizesReply
NO, that money should go into an unclaimed prize fund and be given out in bonus draws or to support future jackpots. How the system is set up ... if there's two winning tickets and no winner comes forward, the second unclaimed ticket becomes expired and the prize goes back into the lottery pool. We just had a whole months of bonus lottery jackpots that started at 25, 30, 37 and 40 million dollars on our Lotto-649. Those huge bonus jackpots were partly a result of unclaimed money. One guy
