Winner of US$63m could lose
Print Edition
The winner of a California Lottery jackpot has apparently let the US$63 million slip away.
Nobody showed up at a state lottery office with the ticket or submitted a verified claim for the prize by Thursday鈥檚 deadline, spokesman Alex Traverso said.
However, Brandy Milliner contends he has already turned in the ticket, but officials told him it was too damaged to be processed. The claim is now the subject of a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles seeking to have a judge decide.
Traverso said the lottery is looking into the claim.
鈥淲e do have some claims to investigate,鈥 he said. 鈥淪o we can say as of right now, no one has come forward with the winning ticket. But we have had lots of inquiries and the potential for more claims.鈥
If no claim pans out, it will be the largest unclaimed prize in California Lottery history and the money will go to the state鈥檚 schools.
Lottery officials have sent out repeated calls for the winner to contact them, and media coverage ramped up as the deadline dwindled to days and then hours.
鈥淚f by some miracle you happen to find this extremely valuable piece of paper, the California Lottery urges you to sign your ticket in ink and get it to one of our lottery district offices,鈥 a Lottery statement said.
The SuperLotto Plus ticket was sold on August 8 at a store in Los Angeles. The winning numbers were: 46-1-33-30-16 and the Mega number: 24.
A California winner has also failed to claim a share in the January 13 multistate Powerball prize of US$1.6 billion.
