Missing $1 Million Lottery Ticket

In the United States the newly launched scratch card called NH Millionaire’s Club has sold a staggering ninety three percent of tickets in the first month.  However lottery officials have announced that a $1 million lotto ticket has gone missing!

The New Hampshire Lottery Executive Director Mr Rick Wisler was quoted as saying that:

“Somewhere out there is a scratch ticket worth $1 million…There’s no more inventory in the warehouse. So either the winner is among the few tickets remaining in stores, or it’s in someone’s possession — hopefully someplace safe.”

The authorities have made a plea to people in the New Hampshire area to make a point of checking their scratch cards in case they are unknowingly the winner of a $1 million cash prize.  

Around 2.1 million scratch cards were printed and over 200,000 scratch cards have been reported as having qualified for another chance to win a whopping $1 million jackpot.

However lottery officials have announced that the prize draw cannot commence until the game has been closed fully.

If you are a UK national lottery player and are looking for other ways to win some cash why not look into buying one of the many scratch cards available. They offer a fun and no fuss way of having a chance at winning some cash and can be bought from many local retailers across the country.
