Unclaimed $600,000 Lottery Prize: Time is Running Out to Claim!
Lottery players who bought a Lucky Day Lotto ticket could be sitting on a major prize. A player in The Prairie State spent a dollar on their lotto ticket worth $600,000 but hasn’t claimed their prize yet.
Unclaimed $600,000 Prize: A Race Against Time
Their ticket was purchased from a Jewel food store in Chicago, Illinois. The draw date was November 8, 2023, and Illinois Lottery officials give players a year to turn in winning tickets. However, the winner lost their chance to claim the prize in a lump sum, one-time payment.
Claim Your $600,000 Prize Now!
The Illinois Lottery requires winners to turn in tickets within 60 days of the drawing date for this option. That deadline passed on January 7, but the player can still receive their prize through annual installments. Plus there are some other Lucky Day Lotto prizes with more recent draw dates.
The Unclaimed Prizes
The first unclaimed prize was drawn on February 19, meaning the player has until Friday, April 19 to get their prize as a lump sum. This ticket’s also worth $600,000, and the winner bought it at a grocery store/pharmacy called Mariano’s in the suburbs of Chicago.
Don’t Miss Out on Your $450,001 Prize!
The next prize was purchased from a Chicago gas station on Valentine’s Day, February 14. The prize is worth $450,001, and the 60-day deadline for claiming it as a lump payment falls on a Sunday. That means the winner would have to turn their ticket in by Friday, April 12 — unless they prefer getting annual installments.
Act Fast to Claim Your Winnings
A smaller prize worth $425,000 was drawn on January 1, and the ticket was bought from Mr Quick-Ezz convenience store. March 1 is the last day the prize can be claimed as a single lump sum payment. But the player has until January 1 2025 to claim the prize in annual installments.
Don’t Let Your $1 Million Prize Slip Away!
Mega Millions in Michigan should check the numbers on their old tickets. On March 15, a massive prize of $1 million will vanish, and the ticket was purchased at a CVS store in the suburbs of Detroit. The winner matched five white balls — 26, 28, 29, 39, and 49, and just missed the Mega Ball.
