Update: Did Anyone Claim the Million from Louisiana Lottery?
Well, it looks like it happened. It’s not something that usually happens but it did. Someone missed out on winning a cool million.
Officials from the Louisiana Lottery office waited all day last Thursday to see if anyone was going to walk in and claim the million dollar prize. No one did. Back in August, someone bought a ticket in New Orleans that matched the winning numbers to win one million dollars. The prize went unclaimed. The deadline was last Thursday at 5:00 pm. The Louisiana lottery office sent out press releases and even posted on social media to inform the public of the unclaimed money. A lottery spokesperson said it is very rare that a prize that large goes unclaimed. But since no one showed up the money will be deposited in a fund that is used for scratch-off tickets and other promotions.
Now watch, sometime this week, some unlucky individual is going to clean out their vehicle and find a crumpled up lottery ticket under their car seat with the winning expired numbers.
