October 29, 2026 · UK

The UK lottery's own prizes-remaining data shows a top prize of £1M claimed on Christmas Countdown, a £5 scratch-off. 3 of the 4 printed now remain.

The change appeared in the published data on October 29, 2026. Lotteries publish with a lag, so the prize itself may have been claimed a day or more earlier. The figures do not say who claimed it or where, and neither do we.

What this does not say

That any ticket is a good buy. Every scratch game returns less than it takes in, with or without its top prize.

Scratch Better is not affiliated with any state lottery and does not sell tickets. Rankings are relative, not a guaranteed edge.
