Where does all the money go from winners that don’t claim their prizes?

Unclaimed national game prizes become future bonus games or promotions.

Unclaimed regional game prizes are used for subsequent lottery draws, promotions or to help offset prize costs.

For both national and regional games, unclaimed wins go back to players in some form of prizing.

Hi John, Our unclaimed prize fund is not specific to games; prizes that go unclaimed are added to our general fund that is used in part for promotions like our Second Chance program at 2Chance.ca. Mireille@AtlanticLottery

Hi Mike; Thank you for your question. In the near future, we’ll be launching a NEW game with a NEW way to win called POKER LOTTO. This new game features 2 ways to win: Instantly where players watch an animation on the screen and can win up to $10,000 and a Nightly draw for a chance to win up to $100,000. Stay tuned for more information on this new game at alc.ca or at your local retailer. - Janet @ Atlantic Lottery
