Unclaimed Mega Millions Jackpot: Millions in Winnings Expire

The $36 million Mega Millions jackpot won with a ticket from a Publix in Jacksonville, Florida, expired after the winner failed to claim it before the deadline. The unclaimed prize money will now be transferred to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund as required by Florida law, with the remaining 20 percent returned to the prize pool for future prizes or special promotions. The ongoing Mega Millions jackpot is currently at $457 million and will conduct its next drawing for that potential windfall late Friday evening.

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

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.
