South Carolina lottery winner where are you? $1.5B still unclaimed, and clock is tickingNews Story
David Stevenson, a CPA in South Carolina, says he can't think of a good reason why whoever bought an enormous lottery ticket in tiny Simpsonville hasn't cashed in. The Mega Millions ticket worth more than $1.5 billion was purchased in October. It will be worthless in about two months if no one comes forward to claim the cash. I could understand there might have been tax advantages to wait until 2019, Stevenson said Thursday. But I see no purpose in waiting now. Honestly, I think it's lost

Bleudog101, Oh No! We have to go through this again with PB. Thank You for telling us about the CA lottery announcement on FaceBook. I am surprised that MM was won by only one ticket. Birthday numbers did us in. It is possible the winning ticket was part of a pool. Keep on dreaming!

But management consultant Ms. Brown, who has since remarried, said: My new husband asked if it would have been worth being married to him for 32 million. No. I don't envy him a

Washington Lottery prizes in search of ownersReply
Yet another reason to extend claim period to 365 days ... as most states have provided. When a retailer wins their partnership monies from a jackpot win, it would be so easy for them to get a big colored piece of construction paper and write on it that there is an unclaimed winning ticket that was purchased at their store on such and such date and won on such and such date. Also, it would be good if all churches, newspapers, and radio stations received this feed/information and would run the

Couple Claims $4.6 Million Lottery Prize With Hour To SpareReply
Wow! What drama. Almost sounds like one of those rumors you hear, except it really happened. Just to add my 2 cents...I'm also surprised that the terminal was still available to check the ticket at that hour. They're lucky there wasn't a power or line failure. I've been to stores where the machines were off-line, i.e., after the hurricanes, even when we had our electricity back. One thing I don't understand is how they didn't know there was an unclaimed winning ticket until the last minute. If
