Magdeburg (dpa/sa) – In Saxony-Anhalt, a lottery prize of one million euros has expired. The lottery player did not report within the three-year period, as Lotto-Toto Sachsen-Anhalt announced on Monday. The time expired on December 31 at 11:59 p.m. “We hoped that someone else would get in touch. Unfortunately, there was no happy ending,” explained Lotto Managing Director Stefan Ebert. “The amount is now flowing back into the pot of nationwide special draws.”
