Dear Gambling Commission,
Thank you very much for your reply. which was late I might add. Unfortunately, the information you have provided is not what I asked for.
I specifically asked for the number of unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes between April 2014 and April 2015.
You have provided the number of unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes between 5th October, 2013 and 1st November, 2014 knowing full-well that unclaimed prizes cannot be registered as such until 180 days have expired since the prize was drawn.
This suggests that 1,219 unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes went unclaimed in just 6 months.
in this particular case you should've provided all unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes between 3rd April 2014 - 3rd April, 2015.
Not only have you deliberately attempted to fluff the numbers, you have also attempted to justify the high number 0f 1,219 unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes by stating 'However, this is in the context of a very high number of £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes (up to 1,000 in particular draws) being offered during the same period.'
It is not the Gambling Commission's job to try and justify these numbers.
Please provide the information I have asked for, Unclaimed £20,000 Lotto Raffle prizes between 3rd April 2014 and 3rd April, 2015. Please could you also put them into a spreadsheet to include dates.
Thank you very much for your time.
Yours faithfully,
Chester J. Lampwick
