By Ian Johnston, NBC NewsUpdated at 12:45 p.m. ET: LONDON - The winner of a lottery prize worth more than $100 million will lose the money if the ticket holder does not come forward in the next few days, organizers in the U.K. warned Wednesday.
Follow @NBCNewsWorld (http://twitter.com/NBCNewsWorld) Under lottery rules, the “truly amazing” and “staggering” prize will go to “good causes” supported by the U.K.’s National Lottery unless it is claimed by 11 p.m. local time (6 p.m. ET) on Wednesday next week, the organizers said in a statement (http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/p/em_unclaimedprize.ftl).
“If you play EuroMillions and think you could have the winning ticket, check in the pockets of your clothing, in wallets, bags and down the back of the sofa – you could literally be sitting on a fortune!” it added.
