$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
I am thinking it was accidentally tossed out or lost. I just moved and was shocked to find my out of state lotto ticket mixed up with other papers. Especially if you're adhd like me. You have a million things in your head. I agree with the other poster about online tickets, even though they're more expensive or you pay a fee, I love the organization of having my tickets online, being notified and not keeping track of paper tickets. I wish all states did this.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
I doubt online sales will solve the problem of forgotten leading to expired tickets. I have read that some people play online have gotten emails from lottery HQ, telling them that they won but they thought the email was a scam. Also too, there are people that do not bother to check their emails either. There is no guaranteed way to stop the now epidemic of expired lottery tickets.

New Jersey Lottery will begin selling tickets onlineReply
I think the beauty of online purchases is that the probability of loosing a winning ticket is reduced if not entirely eliminated. You get notified online I assume if your ticket is a winner, I stand to be corrected, where I live we don't have online purchases. If the only thing taking you to the store is a lottery ticket, then being able to do it online saves you time and gas. On the flip side it may encourage more spending on lottery if one is not disciplined. The physical act of ge
