Remember not too long ago the California Lottery outed a winning ticket purchaser? I thought it was awful having the woman's picture plastered all over the news.

In Illinois, noise-gate, one certainly wouldn't wait a few months to CLAIM their lottery ticket's jackpot win! The reason is because if winner files their claim form within 2 months of drawing date they may receive the LUMP SUM amount ... yet sadly, if winner files their claim form after 2 months time, only option is to be paid via annual annuity deposit into their checking account, etc. [You'll notice that most financial advisers recommend not having your full contact and annual updates to your...

Let me take a wild guess. The money if unclaimed will go to education. Yeah right. What a racket.

They should air the video footage of the ticket purchase. The fact that the Lottery wont and that they have a vested interest in the ticket not being claimed reeks of corruption.

with every ticket I purchase I work for the lottery. -

So maybe California lottery is just wanting to to keep more money for the state and their decision to not publish the film is one of greed...

or... better yet... the ca lottery saw the film, and it was one of the execs ex's and so they are hushing up to not assist her/him in getting money (rat bastiges

Well I have come of the opinion that you would be the person that could find that winner. You possibly already work for the lottery I haven't checked you out? But if not get a job with the lottery and find that winner. Don't let that money go unclaimed

No, not really Doug. There are options. The California Lottery says something to the effect of in the winner's handbook forming a Trust prior to picking up the cheque. Even though Freedom of information applies, you as a winner could pace yourself as to when you claim the money. If you wait a few months while the current jackpot grows to a decent size- that's the perfect time to claim yours while all eyes are distracted and focusing in on the present jp..It's like going after a woman or in a fem...

Well that could be the case with anyone. Only people from Baghdad can hide their identity, in most state's. And I don't think California will let you hide your identity? I feel like the state gets half of it anyway but a hundred percent is even better.

l Don't think Music was suggesting anything of the kind Doug.Tell you what- figure this scenario out.An old lady wins $63mil, the lottery decides that they going to splash her mug all over the Television news reports.Two local career criminals who know this old lady see that piece and say to each other.. we know this lady,we can wait until she cashes her cheque and hit her residence real hard for the cash- we will get information out of that lady even if it mean we have to use force!

Maybe he did but I'm sure the person holding all those tickets for Lotto won't.

Must be a person who didn't think much of their purchase. Like coffee, or a newspaper.

Why does that matter do you think she doesn't need the money? It doesn't matter if you broke crippled and blind if you bought a ticket and won you are entitled to your money

I won $100.00 playing Super Lotto Plus for the first time. Beginners' luck. I used Bible numbers back then.

This 63 million dollar ticket is certainly a mystery.

I support California Lottery's decision not to play the video of the purchase. It could be a frail grandmother using a cane or walker.

California do your jobs and find the winner! Or everyone go back to the black market lottery that was run with a pencil and paper, and would give better odds. They would also look you up to pay you. Quit buying their tickets they will change up or go back to locking others up for running a business like it was supposed to be. They have the video show it and guit acting like the dude that put the root kit in the computer and stealing the money.

One would think you wouldn't lose a 63 million dollar ticket but I remember having a instant ticket once and checking it thought it wasn't a winner, rechecked it a month or so later (I was about to throw it away) and realize it was a $100 winner. Stuff happens!!! I would be curled up in a ball for days if I thought I lost a 63 million dollar ticket.

The Person that Won may never know that a Fortune slipped thru their Fingers when the Time to Claim the Winnings Expires

State no longer publishes surveillance video of ticket purchases to find winners

A $63 million Super Lotto prize may become the largest unclaimed prize in California, but many prizes big and small go unclaimed every year, a spokesperson for the California Lottery Commission said Saturday.

Roughly $25 million per year in winnings are not claimed, said Alex Traverso.

So, it's quite a bit of money when you add it up, he said.

The lottery winner in Southern California still has not clai... [ More ]
