Another Lottery Ticket Expired




A Florida lottery ticket worth $36 million has expired leaving the grand prized unclaimed.

The winning Mega Millions Quick Pick ticket was sold at a Publix, located at 4495 Roosevelt Boulevard in Jacksonville.

The winning numbers drawn on Aug 15, 2023, were 18, 39, 42, 57 and 63.

The deadline for the winning ticket to be redeemed was Feb. 11 at midnight according to the Florida Lottery website.

Whenever a lottery ticket goes unclaimed, Florida law requires 80% of the unclaimed prize money to go to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, with the remaining 20% going into a prize pool for future prizes or promotions.

Unclaimed Mega Millions ticket worth $197M expiring soon​

MSN


If you play the lottery, you might want to check your ticket.

There is an unclaimed Mega Millions ticket from December 2023 worth more than $197 million, which is set to expire if it’s not turned in.


According to the California Lottery, two Mega Millions tickets sold at the same Chevron gas station in Encino on Dec.

8, 2023 had the same winning numbers - 21, 26, 53, 66, 70, and 13.

While one of the ticket holders came forward in June 2024, the second ticket holder has yet to declare the winnings.

“We have no way of knowing who has the second jackpot-winning ticket from that incredible night,” Carolyn Becker, California Lottery spokesperson, said in a press release. “While it’s a shame for potential winners to see any winning ticket expire, it does give a helpful boost to California public schools. All unclaimed prize money winds up helping support public education, so we can still feel good about it at the end of the day.”

The deadline to turn in the winning ticket in Saturday, Dec. 7 at 11:59 p.m.

Wonder why the person who knew they won waited six months?

I can understand contacting a CPA, getting all your plans and financial ducks in a row, but 6 months to do so seems extreme

It's like.. why would you even buy the lottery ticket if you don't have the time to check the result? Just why?????
I've bought a lottery ticket and forgot about it.
It wasn't a winner but it happens. People who buy them routinely likely forget.

They drive home from work, stop at the corner store, pick up a lottery ticket every week, drop it in your center console of your car and forget about it until you're digging for change or something in the console and see "Hell, I got a lottery ticket in here.".

Makes sense.

I hope whoever holds the winning ticket will never find it, especially if the ticket has already expired, or else it's he/she will need to deal with a different level of heartbreak.

It could be a coincidence but Fly is coming home this weekend probably to cash the ticket in. :yes:
