I think older people buy them and at some point pass away and know one is thinking of lottery tickets.

This Double Play winner from the May 15, 2025, drawing has until 4:45 p.m. EST on May 15, 2026, to claim at Lottery HQ in Lansing with an appointment via 844-887-6836. Plenty of time if they've got the ticket stashed somewhere safe. Lotterologist's spot on about folks tossing them; I've seen it happen with those small-print add-ons confusing players who forget they played the second draw. Unclaimed, it all funnels straight to the School Aid Fund, so either way Michigan wins, but I'd love to hear... [ More ]

Why? Do you think they collect the winnings personally?

It says in the article that unclaimed prizes goes to the public schools.

I think that unclaimed prizes should be returned to the players (a bonus drawing or something). But it's the state, so of course they keep it.

I suspect the missing winner was enjoying a wonderful liverwurst or oliveloaf sandwich with wxy and z plus swiss cheese on pumpernickel when he or she completely blanked out that they had bought the ticket.

Have a shaggy day!

They probably threw the winning ticket away.

That Double Play technical jargon can be confusing.

I'll bet you that the lottery suits, will be grinning from cheek to cheek, when that prize goes unclaimed.

It is always wild how so many lottery winning tickets are now going unclaimed. I suppose the more hectic life gets the more people buy lottery tickets and forget all about them or where they even put them. I suspect this person's lottery ticket is in the glove box of his/her car, sitting there for months with a bunch of other. Not seeing the light of day until the person decides to clean out their car some time in the Summer
