Lottery-ticket seller also a Mega winnerReply
$50,000 is only 0.017% of the jackpot. That's 1/100 of 1%. Pretty stingy for such a huge jackpot. Massachusetts pays sellers of winning tickets of other jackpot games 1%. If Mr. Patel had received 1%, he would have got $2,900,000.

South Carolina lottery winner where are you? $1.5B still unclaimed, and clock is tickingNews Story
David Stevenson, a CPA in South Carolina, says he can't think of a good reason why whoever bought an enormous lottery ticket in tiny Simpsonville hasn't cashed in. The Mega Millions ticket worth more than $1.5 billion was purchased in October. It will be worthless in about two months if no one comes forward to claim the cash.
