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.
