SC officials getting nervous that $1.5 billion Mega Millions winner won't claim prizeReply
The ticket is not lost. It was the ticket for the biggest lottery ever (or so it was advertised). I would think that any wise adviser would want everything to be perfect before you deal with this kind of wealth.

South Carolina's billion dollar mega millions ticketReply
Raven, there will be winners of jackpots for years and years to come.

Homeless man dives into dumpster to retrieve lottery ticket worth $4.82MReply
And perhaps you noticed that the second article you linked uses a more complete quote The man, who chose to remain anonymous Doesn't telling a story about dumpster diving at a news conference defeat the purpose of remaining anonymous?
