Imagine you win a million euros in the lottery and don’t collect your winnings, you may not even know about your luck and then the lottery ticket is in danger of being forfeited.
That’s exactly what happened to a player from Bavaria, and it got even worse: The million-dollar winnings from the “BayernMillions” lottery hadn’t been claimed by the end of last year. There’s nothing wrong with the big coup!
Winner not found: Who owns the “BayernMillions” ticket with the number 426492?

The winner’s million goes to the Bavarian state budget for charitable purposes

Posters were even put up in lottery shops to point out that there was still a large sum to be picked up.
The State Lottery and Casino Administration left no stone unturned to find the owner of the winning ticket. But the winner didn’t show up.
