The latest story of a lottery jackpot going unclaimed is from Swindon in the UK, where a player matched all the lucky numbers to win a £1 million jackpot on November 9th last year.

After the 180 day period that players have to come forward to claim their prizes passed the jackpot was considered forfeited and will go toward funding various charities across the UK.
