So true.. I still think about the New Jersey 1.3 Billion dollar Mega Millions ticket for the March 26, 2024 drawing, that went unclaimed and expired on March 27, 2025. All to often people purchase lottery tickets then throw them in the glove box of their car or a shoe box in their home and forget all about the ticket until it is too late.

What a conundrum! Lottery players spend a lot of time and money trying to capture that jackpot, yet all to often said jackpot is won but goes unclaimed. Funny how a lot of jackpots are won by careless individuals

Thank you for adding flesh to idea. I am all for it.

I like the reasoning that for the prize to get to where it is when won, it's people that contributed to it and it's only fair that if unclaimed, another person be given the chance to win it.

I know it's wishful thinking, but who knows, never say never.

JustMaybe, You just pushed the idea I have had for years into at least second place...

I have always believed that *all* unclaimed funds should roll over into other Special drawings with much lower and more reasonable odds than PB MM until it was won *and* claimed.

Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Holiday Drawings? By each State or Nationally? There would be many details to work out. I believe that the unclaimed funds should go to the buying public that furnished the funding in the first place.... [ More ]

I have a brilliant idea

Everyone a prize goes unclaimed, they should give it to LP and Kate can do a draw.

Trust me no LP draw will go unclaimed

How about that for a plan
