A BASE JACKPOT SPLIT TWO WAYS!

I'll take that over a $2.00 win any time! I'm not greedy I only need a few MILLION anyway that way I'll have enough too share

wouldn't it be a shame if someone threw that ticket away

The winning tickets were purchased in two different states so the odds that one person actually bought both of them is probably something like a trillion to 1.

What if the same person has both tickets ? Because neither of the winning tickets have been cashed

Neither of the winning tickets from that drawing have been cashed. (The other ticket was sold in Va.) So, what do you think the odds are of both tickets being lost

I think the same person has both winning tickets. Because NEITHER of the winning tickets from that drawing have been cashed yet. The stores they were purchased at are only about 9 hours apart. (The Other ticket was sold in Va.) I'm thinking a Truck driver or someone visiting family has both tickets. Who knows.. I might have them! Go, Me

It does say in the story purchased at a Kroger #0634 address #'s Dallas (something st), in Dallas But didn't say GA after so your not as tired as you thought, If something says Dallas I would think TX also! Or Maybe you are sleepy

Hopefully it's not lost, but you're most likely correct.

I don't think they will be entitled to the full amount. Another similar scenario played out with two guys from Michigan who had one of the winning tickets and the other winning ticket was never redeemed. They tried suing to get the other half of the jackpot but to no avail.

Looks like after 180 days that other winner will receive the full jackpot. I know what that person is wishing for.

Texas was never mentioned...ticket was sold in Dallas, GA.

I don't understand the article. Says ticket was split between TX and VA and yet GA is involved? That's where MM drawings take place if I'm not mistaken. Maybe they meant to say a three way split. Nap time I guess.

Hate to say it but it is most likely another lost ticket. I can't see the winner taking this long for a base jackpot prize that was split 2-ways. If it was $100 million or more than it would make more sense.

Georgia Lottery looking for $7.5M Mega Millions winner

Georgia Lottery officials are trying to solve the case of the missing millionaire. Half of a $15 million jackpot won in Georgia remains unclaimed.

The outstanding ticket, worth approximately $7.5 million, is one of two that split the July 22 Mega Millions jackpot prize.

Kroger #0634, located at 8876 Dallas Acworth Highway in Dallas, sold the lucky ticket. The second ticket that shared the jackpot prize was purchased in Virginia.

Georgia winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim
