Yes, you read that accurately.

If I buy several lottery tickets and then leave my account dormant for a long time, say at least 6 months, and my ticket wins the jackpot during that time.
Will anything happen to my prize money? Will the casino refund my money because I never claimed any of the rewards?

It's just a thought I've had for a while and decided to ask here in the community.

Online or physical lottery tickets?

I just did a quick search on bc.game lottery article and nothing was written on the duration at which a lottery ticket that wins will expires or would become invalid for claim.
In my opinion, a user should be able to claim his/her reward anytime they Wish to, because I see no reason as to why they'll render the ticket invalid after sometime. If we were referring to a physical lottery ticket I would have judge that different but since I'm referring to an online casino then it shouldn't have any maximum duration at which it will be valid.
I think that the duration of the lottery awards may depend on the conditions prescribed in each particular lottery. Therefore, if you plan to take a break for a long time after buying a lottery ticket, then first of all you should study the conditions for the lottery. I think everything will be written there. Also, you should take the time to study the local gambling and lottery laws in your country, because, I think, depending on different countries, there may be differences. In turn, local laws may stipulate the period of time when a player can collect his prize money if he won it.

As a result, I can say that:
1 - read the lottery conditions from your service provider;
2 - learn your local lottery laws.
