I think there is gonna be a 200 million jackpot that's gonna go unclaimed this year and it was a MM jackpot won in Shenandoah, VA on 10/16/09...... they havent claimed it yet so we will see when they will claim it before the 180 day time period is up.......

How are they crooks? They give you 3 months to collect your money. If you are not responsible enough to hold onto your ticket or are just too stupid to check it. It's your fault if you lose the money.

What is the rationale for limiting the days when a jackpot winner can collect?

why can't they just impose fines but still allow a complacent brother get his dues?

The lottery commissions are just crooks.

I really should collect my Indiana winnings... which I bought in Indiana... even though I've never been to Indiana.

Chances are the person who bought the ticket didn't check his ticket correctly, never checked it at all, misplaced it, or just lost it. There goes $2.5M or about $800,000 after taxes, quite a tidy sum. Oh well.

Hopefully, the owner of the ticket come forward. Otherwise, they are going to be out a lot of money.

i dont think the winner even noticed the ticket, all we know it could be in the trash

or lost and whatever

this is why

i think that sense they just have the winnings setting in a bank account, collecting intrest for them selfs

if atfer claim time is over, and no one claims,

they SHOULD add it back into the same jackpot game it came form on the start of the next draw!

people paid good money to grow that jackpot for their to be a winner, any REAL winner,

plus the st... [ More ]

Indiana lottery officials say they miscalculated the deadline to collect the winnings from a $2.5 million jackpot ticket, and are allowing more time for the winner to come forward.

The Hoosier Lottery office says the deadline for claiming the jackpot from the Aug. 19 drawing has been extended until Feb. 22.

Lottery officials had said the jackpot expired as of 5 p.m. Friday, but now say that was incorrect because the day of the drawing was mistakenly included in the 180-day limit to claim t... [ More ]
