Unclaimed $44M Florida Lotto Ticket: What Happens to the Money?

TL;DR Summary
A $44 million Florida lottery ticket remains unclaimed after months of searching and failed attempts to find the winner. The winning ticket was sold at a Sunoco Express gas station in Kissimmee, near Walt Disney World Resort. The owner of the gas station put up posters announcing the winning ticket, but no one has come forward to claim the prize. Unclaimed jackpots are rare, and the money will now go back to the state, with 80% being used for education programs. The lottery appeals to those who have lost faith in the traditional economic ladder but still dream of striking it rich.
