$410,000 prize unclaimed

A $410,000 prize from a New Zealand Lotteries Commission Bullseye ticket purchased in Alexandra has yet to be claimed.

The winning ticket was triggered during a Bullseye Must Be Won draw on April 23.

New Zealand Lotteries communications adviser Roz Sheerin said it was unusual for a large prize to be unclaimed after a week.

Ms Sheerin said the ticket was purchased from Alexandra's New World supermarket, although she could not disclose exactly when the winning ticket was bought.

"It would have been purchased for the April 23 draw," she said.

All Bullseye players were encouraged to check their tickets, Ms Sheerin said.

It was the second time a Bullseye prize of $400,000 or more had been won since the game was launched in October last year.

Ms Sheerin said although the jackpot reached $400,000 on April 23, there were no first division winners.

The full $410,000 prize went to the sole second division winner, she said.

Ms Sheerin said the winner had until April 23 next year to claim their prize, after which the ticket would become void.
