A lottery ticket worth millions may be sitting on someone's dresser, or in their jacket pocket — and they don't even know it. The Atlantic Lottery says there’s a $64-million ticket out there, unclaimed, and it expires soon. It’s one of many tickets that go unclaimed every year.A lottery ticket worth millions may be sitting on someone's dresser, or in their jacket pocket — and they don't even know it.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says even though it's just one per cent that goes unclaimed each year, it adds up. "We are using both social and traditional media to help raise awareness that a prize is outstanding and to remind players to look for any tickets they may not have checked yet, in hopes that a winner will come forward."
He says there can be lots of reasons why people don't collect their winnings right away, especially if it's a big sum. People who win big money are required to go public in order to accept the money, so often they want to talk to their lawyer or financial adviser first. . OLG knew the winning ticket was sold at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Cambridge, Ont., and they knew what time the ticket was sold, so they were able to look at the security video of the person buying the winning ticket.
After knocking on her door and explaining the situation, they found she did not have the winning ticket anymore. But because they were able to confirm she bought the ticket, and that it was likely thrown away, they were still able to give her the $50 million.
