The National Lottery states that wins must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date, with unclaimed prizes going to go causes.
A spokesperson for Solitaired.com commented on the findings: “If you ever lost a winning lottery ticket, there is comfort in knowing that your prize would have gone to a good cause, quite possibly in your own town.”
Since 1994 the National Lottery has raised millions for good causes in South Yorkshire including £508m in Sheffield, £114m in Rotherham, £111m in Doncaster and £95m in Barnsley.
