Winner of Mega Millions $1.3 billion jackpot has yet to claim prize

Nearly a month after the winning ticket was sold, a winner has yet to come forth and claim the Mega Millions $1.3 billion jackpot.

The unknown winner bought the winning ticket at a Speedway gas station in Des Plaines, Illinois. It was the third-largest single winning in U.S. lottery history, and the second-largest Mega Millions prize.


Harold Mays, director of Illinois' lottery, said per CBS News last Friday, “We don't know whether or not they even know that they won a prize, so I encourage everybody to check your ticket.”

Mega Millions winners have a year from the drawing date to claim their prize.

If no one steps up to claim the winnings after a year has passed, each state that participates in the Mega Millions lottery will get their portion returned.
