London (UK):
The title of Britain's biggest loser was bestowed on a National Lottery player who failed to collect a £9.4 million prize jackpot ahead of last night's deadline.
Instead of being frittered on vintage champagne, fast cars and a palatial home or two, the money will now be distributed among the lottery's good causes.
Bought in the Doncaster area of Yorkshire, the ticket represented the largest unclaimed prize since the draw began, when the 180-day deadline for collection ticked by at 5:30 last night.
