After waiting for several months, the Plano resident who bought the fateful lottery ticket has come forward to claim the huge prize set last 2022 according to a CBS News article. They say,
“More than five months after buying a Mega Millions lottery ticket, a Plano resident claimed his or her $1 million prize.
The drawing for that prize was July 29, 2022 and the ticket was set to expire on Jan. 25. It was bought at the RaceTrac at 1100 W. Park Blvd., in Plano.
The winning Quick Pick ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (13-36-45-57-67), but not the gold Mega Ball number (14).”
However, Mega Million officials are yet to rest since another winning ticket is still out there waiting to be claimed according to a UP Job News article which reports,
“Another winning ticket from the same draw was also sold but has yet to be claimed. It was purchased at Fuel Maxx #47, located at 420 University Drive in Prairie View.
Texas Lottery officials said the deadline to claim the $1 million prize is Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at 5 p.m. local time. The ticket holder may claim the prize at any Texas Lottery claim center.
The ticket holder may also claim the prize by mail. Texas Lottery officials said the ticket, along with the claim form, must be postmarked on or before January 25 and mailed to this address:
Texas Lottery Commission
ATTENTION: Austin Claims Center
PO Box 16600
Austin, Texas 78761-6600”
Currently, the prize for the Mega Millions jackpot has reached more than $1 billion, holding the fifth largest amount in US history.
