(Image: Supplied) 'The most important thing of course is to try and make sure we can reunite as many of the items as possible with their owners and we work hard to do that as we know how frustrating, and upsetting, it can be to lose something while travelling.'
Items not claimed are kept for 28 days and then often donated to charity.

Why playing EuroMillions now gives you the best chance of winning £14m jackpot
GAME ON Why playing EuroMillions now gives you the best chance of winning £14m jackpot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PLAYING the EuroMillions tonight gives you the best chance of bagging the £14million jackpot. A Lucky Irish ticket holder won the biggest ever prize of £208million this week and the jackpot has now reset.

This is because less people are likely to play because it's not a mega jackpot and that means any winnings could be split between a smaller group. A spokesperson for Allwyn, which runs the National Lottery, explained: "EuroMillions is designed to be a huge, rolling jackpot game. "So, we always have more people enter as the jackpot rises and excitement grows. "We also see more syndicates and groups playing the game as the jackpot climbs. "However, every draw, the odds of winning the jackpot remain the same no matter what the jackpot amount. "You could possibly argue that, if fewer people play, then you are potentially less likely to share the jackpot with other winners." The spokesperson added that, ultimately, any lottery is a game of chance and anything can happen, especially depending on what numbers are drawn and based on number combinations. Of course, always remember to only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and set a spending limit before you play. Visit or if you need help. If you do win the EuroMillions tonight, any prize must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date. Biggest ever EuroMillions jackpot A record £208million EuroMillions prize was scooped earlier this week, leaving the winner with an eye-watering pot of cash. The National Lottery EuroMillions winning numbers were: 13, 22, 23, 44, 49 and the Lucky Stars are: 03, 05. While one lucky person in Ireland won the jackpot, dozens of Brits also scooped prizes. There were three players who matched five numbers and one lucky star who will win a whopping £6.3m each. While 16 Brits won £16,119.10 by matching the five main numbers.

Exact time Brits are most likely to get ‘hangry' revealed in survey – do you agree?
The poll also revealed the age group most susceptible to hanger TASTING TIMES Exact time Brits are most likely to get 'hangry' revealed in survey – do you agree? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SURVEY has revealed the exact time Brits are most likely to get 'hangry'. The portmanteau refers to the combined emotion of 'hungry' and 'angry' - a common feeling among those surveyed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A poll of 2,000 Brits has revealed the most common time to get 'hangry' Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk 3 Tackle your hunger with the new McDonald's Big Arch burger Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk The average Brit gets 'hangry' around 100 times a year – typically at 2.22pm. A poll of 2,000 adults found 72 per cent have fallen victim to this at one time or another – with 45 per cent of these stating 'you wouldn't like me when I'm hangry.' And being in this state of mind has far-reaching consequences - 32 per cent admit it impacts their motivation to do anything productive. While 17 per cent revealed it has led to a mistake at work and 30 per cent said their sense of humour has taken a hit.

Almost a third (31 per cent) say they've been caught out by a loud stomach rumble in a meeting, while 12 per cent have even experienced an ill-timed grumbling stomach mid-date. A spokesperson for McDonald's: "It's an easy trap to fall into because hanger can spring upon us at any moment. 'It's important that we are prepared for these moments and have something on hand to relieve the hanger symptoms.' Other than lack of food, the study found stress (39 per cent) is the biggest cause of hanger, with lack of sleep (33 per cent) also a common factor. More than a third (35 per cent) revealed it tends to happen mostly when they're bored – although 27 per cent say it's unpredictable – and occurs at 'random times.' McDonald's CEO reveals major 'menu news' as fans cry for snack wrap return Hanger doesn't just strike on the go—it's a regular challenge at home too, with 24 per cent saying it's a common problem in their household. It emerged 63 per cent recognise the signs of hanger before it fully takes over, according to the figures. And when it hits, speed matters —57 per cent act fast and reach for something readily available, while 36 per cent attempt to curb it with water. Those aged between 18 and 24 are the hangriest age group, with 48 per cent admitting this happens to them at least three times per week. A spokesperson for McDonald's added: 'It is a good sign that Brits are aware when they're feeling hangry. 'A quick solution is always key so that you can continue to go about your day, at your best.'
