Have a question for you, Is CA a 1yr to claim or 180 day State? AZ is like VA It's a 180 day State, I wouldn't buy a ticket in CA you don't get the amount you would if you purchased in another State, CA goes by how many total winner's, the amount's that were pd out of that Jackpot then you get the rest! How the H is that fair??? You know how many people in CA that play especially with a Jackpot that's as HUGE as it was, whoever has/had that ticket may only receive a Million or even a few Million...

The winning ticket in Chino Hills, California has not been cashed in yet. It is a one-third claim on the Jackpot.

The other two winners have claimed their share of the record jackpot. Won on Wednesday night 1/13/2016.

One ticket was owned by John and Lisa Robinson from Munford, Tennessee.

The second ticket was purchased in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It has been claimed. Use the Lottery Post Search box for more details. I can't remember that nice couple's name at this moment.... [ More ]

What I don't get is with this being the BIGGEST PB in history why or how would you not keep up with your ticket/tickets and check them? What if anyone of those had been 1 of the 3 BIG winners!!!

I think we all came up with a bunch more theories than...

Somebody threw it away, or put it through a washing machine.

Also, he said, there were a lot of people who were playing for the big January jackpot who do not normally play, so they weren't used to checking their tickets.

You do have a good question, If a military winner comes forward later what will they do, take the $ back from the ed. fund ?

I guess that the lottery has enough money on hand to cover the winner's ticket.

Yea, that's what prompted my ?

is the waiver meaningless if a military winner comes forward after the deadline ?

if so, then what good is the waiver ?

It says the money will go to the state education fund.

If a military winner comes forward later what will they do, take the $ back from the ed. fund

They do not know if any of the winners were military. But if they are then the 180 day deadline would be waived. According to the Lottery Official. This was part of the story about 2/3rds down the page.

Me too. Imagine the feeling if one found an expired winning lottery ticket...makes me shudder. Was guilty of this (sort of). Found an old ticket and it would not scan. It was over a year old

Three lottery tickets worth $50,000 each go unclaimed in Virginia

Lottery Post — Wed, 13 Jul 2016 22:53:27 GMT

No one came forward to claim three separate Virginia lottery tickets that were each worth $50,000, so the money now goes to a state fund for educational uses.

The deadline to claim the prize money was Tuesday at 5 p.m., but no one came forward with the winning tickets, according to officials with the Virginia Lottery.

(See Deadline approaching for three unclaimed $50,000 lottery tickets in Virginia, Lottery Post, Jul. 8, 2016.)

The tickets were sold as part of the $1.58 billion Powerbal... [ More ]
