I wonder if the winner was able to claim his prize or the ticket just expired? It's unfortunate because there are so many players hoping to win the lottery, and when someone do, they weren't able to claim their prizes. I think it will be better if they will have a system wherein they could identify the identity of the player upon purchasing the ticket, therefore he doesn't need to show the ticket to claim his prize.

If they know they won they would be back. They clearly just don't know they won. I don't get why people don't check there tickets? Why buy one? So stupid. lol

Wasn't it Indiana that holds the record for largest unclaimed JP? $50+ mil, at least I think that's what LCML said.

It would be really sad if the money is never claimed.

I've know of people who buy tickets and are too lazy to check them unless they hear somebody locally won big. Unless they suspect they won more than a few dollars, they don't bother to check.

Yeah-some people put their money on the counter get a ticket and then forget about it altogether. Probably threw away the ticket in the dark along with the empty cigarette pack that was taking up space in the top shirt pocket.

What a loss.

Yep, probably another lost auto pick by someone who lost the ticket before checking it?

Come on person, Find it and cash in ! I hate these tales of no cashing in . Unbelievable too many times.

sorry to hear this, when i hear of this happening i think it may have been a truck driver passing through somewhere buys a ticket and forgets or never comes back to the place anytime soon.
