State lottery issues final deadline for unclaimed winning scratch cards

The Cyprus State Lottery has issued a final public notice urging holders of winning scratch cards to come forward for prize redemption. Owners must check their tickets, particularly those that may have been forgotten in wallets or storage areas, as only a small number of winning tickets from specific series remain outstanding.

The relevant scratch card games affected are identified by the following serial numbers: "Standard" (0503), "Mini" (169A), "Large" (M068), "Super" (A185), and "Bingo" (B020). Holders of these specific tickets are required to present them for redemption no later than November 23, 2026. Failure to claim prizes by this date will result in the funds being forfeited to the Republic's Consolidated Fund.

While the State Lottery has confirmed that only a limited number of winning tickets remain unclaimed across these five categories, it has not disclosed the specific monetary value or the exact number of winners currently missing. This announcement serves as the final opportunity for participants to recover their winnings before the legal transfer of these funds to the state treasury.
