Reminds me of a dog I once had. He loved to chase cars, but he really had no ideas about what he was going to do if he ever caught one. I'm surprised at the number of people who play the lottery that don't care about which numbers they play (QPs) or care enough to check those tickets unless they hear the big winner is in their area, they just want to be in the game. Even if they hear or read the winning numbers, they have no idea if they are the numbers they played.RJOh

Wow...I wonder if they lost the ticket...or just did not realize that they won. I can't imagine not claiming $28 million dollars! I hope someone claims it before the deadline...it would be ashame for all that money to go unclaimed.

After that, the money goes into the public schools pot. We've been wondering for over six months, said Mona Sanders, the California Lottery sales representative for the San Lorenzo store that sold the winning ticket.
