VIDEO: May's Weekly Roundup in lottery newsReply
I believe it is not the state's job to hunt down lottery winners. If a person takes the time and money to buy a ticket, it shouldn't be that hard to go online and check the ticket. Only takes a minute and a couple of clicks. Can't speak for all states, but Tx Lottery does not keep unclaimed money. Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, including the Foundation School Fund and Fund for Veterans' Assistance , which are the primary benefi

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Looks like around 200-220 books of 1490 out there, along with 2k+ of the 1491 remaining. It would be insane for the $500 week for life game and/or $1000 week for life games to end with a final prize remaining. Can someone really miss a jackpot on a $1 or $2 scratchoff, or would standard business practices justify how with odds of 1 in 5,923,200 the final top prize just ended up being discarded or missed? At any rate, people should we should find out soon enough if the game is going to e

Most people don't know this so showing up to lottery headquarter with names on ID's that don't match would be a shocker to find out. Also it would be

Yes I think about the first double play winner never claimed the $10M prize in Maryland. It would be cool if they did a raffle or something with the unclaimed money.
