It's getting a bit unusual to still be unclaimed. They're typically claimed within a month.

"Brown is likely to talk about the $1.537 billion Mega Millions jackpot winning ticket sold in Simpsonville at the end of October. That ticket is still unclaimed. The winner has until April to claim the prize."

So in situations like that, does the money get absorbed back into the jackpot if the deadline passes?

My guess is the winner had a heart attack and died when they found out they won.

You have to wonder how many winners (including people who hit 5/6 numbers or whatever) dont even realize they won.

Mightve bought a ticket and forgot they bought a ticket. Could be tucked under a couch cushion and they arent the wiser

Yeah, apparently there's quite a few unclaimed prizes. This would be the biggest in history, though. I think all unclaimed are under 100 million. There's one 60 million one in the US that went unclaimed in 2015.

it sounds like the ticket was thrown away or maybe lost before the drawing even happened.

i be fine with it. long as the schools and helpful programs get a cut of the money within the state it's won from.
