Winner Has Hours to Claim $63m Lottery Jackpot

In California, no one has ever come forward to collect a winning jackpot after the deadline has passed, said California Lottery Deputy Director Russ Lopez.

California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said as of Wednesday afternoon they had not been served the lawsuit, had not been contacted by MiIliner’s lawyers and were looking into the claim. But one contender must certainly be a $77 million Powerball jackpot won in Georgia in 2011.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — With hours to go and $63 million on the line, the mystery remains: Where’s the winning California Lottery ticket and why hasn’t somebody cashed it?

If the winning ticket is not picked, the jackpot will be funneled to the California public school system.

If it goes unclaimed, it will be the largest state-run lottery prize to go unclaimed since 2003 when a $28.5 million winning ticket sold in Alameda was never brought forward.

So, if literally A SHRED of this sounds REMOTELY FAMILIAR, I would strongly suggest you get your ASS down to the California State Lottery Commission BEFORE 5 PM TODAY.

Milliner is now asking a judge to declare him the victor. And if you really did have the winning ticket, I hope this gut wrenching experience teaches you to be more careful with your things.

Milliner said the commission, which claimed the ticket was “too damaged to be reconstructed“, has declined to return the ticket.

Milliner claims he turned in the winning SuperLotto Plus ticket and was told to expect his money.

We suggest anyone who may have bought a ticket from the 7-Eleven on Lassen Street in Chatsworth double check your tickets for numbers 46-1-33-30-16 and Mega number 24. “Every day I have somebody coming in saying ‘oh I wish it was me, oh I think it is me.’ So I say go home and check your tickets”, said store employee Arsel Nazir.

The winning SuperLotto Plus ticket must be delivered to a lottery office by 5 p.m. Thursday.
