Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
Looks like around 200-220 books of 1490 out there, along with 2k+ of the 1491 remaining. It would be insane for the $500 week for life game and/or $1000 week for life games to end with a final prize remaining. Can someone really miss a jackpot on a $1 or $2 scratchoff, or would standard business practices justify how with odds of 1 in 5,923,200 the final top prize just ended up being discarded or missed? At any rate, people should we should find out soon enough if the game is going to e

Winning $70 million Lotto Max ticket bought in Ontario will expire in one monthReply
Unfortunately all to many of these winning lottery tickets go unclaimed because the buyer loses the ticket. I don't know about Canada, but in some US states when someone goes to the lottery headquarters to claim the winning jackpot prize, they must have two form of ID. The names on both forms of ID must match exactly or the prize can't be claimed. Most people don't know this so showing up to lottery headquarter with names on ID's that don't match would be a shocker to find out. Also it would be

$1 million winning Powerball lottery ticket bought in Texas will expire in a weekReply
Yes I think about the first double play winner never claimed the $10M prize in Maryland. It would be cool if they did a raffle or something with the unclaimed money.

New York woman says she was winner of unclaimed $12 million Lotto jackpot from 1992News Story
It was a comedy of errors. By Kate Northrop A New York woman has revealed that she was the winner of a $12 million Lotto jackpot that was never claimed in 1992. A lottery jackpot on the verge of expiring prompts many players to rifle through their drawers or shuffle the contents of their car glovebox around, searching for that fateful ticket that could change their life forever.

To avoid inaccurate information - those are the number of books IN STORES. The games both still show about 10% left in both of them, so well within the possibility, and likelihood, that the prizes are in that remaining 10%. Given that in the past, games typically end with something in the range of 2% unclaimed, there's a large amount of books still sitting in the warehouse. Or it will be found tomorrow and the games end in 2 months, it's the lottery, who knows. My only point is that the abov

Iowa Lottery retailer accuses store manager of buying ticket he knew won $100,000Reply
So since these tickets cannot be cancelled, the store is stuck with them. If any turn out to be winners-- does the store collect the prize or are they mandated to return them to the lottery?? From the employees perspective it would be a shame for the money to go unclaimed and revert back to the lottery. But since the employee is prohibited from purchasing these tickets due to company policy, it's understandable the employee would enlist a Confederate to come and purchase the ticket.

With the Fast Plays, they roll them out with the promise of 13 top prizes, but if not enough people are playing it, those prizes just won't be there. You kind of have to think of them as a parimutuel jackpot system. If you play, you could win a chunk of whatever monies have been paid in for that particular game, but if it isn't a popular game, then the money's just not there to pay out. Either way, the state's grabbing 80% right off the top. I just checked the lottery site on a $2 scratcher I've
