$1.5B lottery winner still hasn’t claimed the prize in South Carolina

It’ll never be claimed. I have a theory this whole thing was rigged.

There’s absolutely no reason to wait this long. Maybe a month or two to get your ducks in a row but by now? No idea.

Prize will never be claimed. Probably accidentally discarded, but I’ve always wondered if the winner might have checked ticket against the wrong numbers. Just as Louisiana does, South Carolina offers Mega Millions and Powerball. Both have five numbers with a specialty 6th number. Although winning numbers aren’t drawn on the same nights of the week, I’ve always wondered if the winner (who may not have been a routine player of the game) might have checked ticket using Powerball winning numbers and discarded a winning Mega Millions ticket.

There was a thread about this a couple of weeks ago and someone mentioned in that thread that a 24 year old worker at some factory in South Carolina walked out of the lunch room having looked at his ticket and said, "I'm a Billionaire and walked off the job." However, seems a little strange that he would wait this long to claim a prize that surely by now he would have all his proverbial ducks in a row. BTW, in that thread there was also made mention of a 1 million dollar unclaimed prize that had only 4 days left to come forward in New Orleans. Has anybody heard whether that winner ever came forward?

Could you imagine finding the ticket the day after it's expired?

With a mountain of hookers

Oh well, guess its all going back to the state

Looks like someone in NJ won mega-millions tonight

Excuse my ignorance, but is there a re-draw if it isnt claimed? And if there isnt a re-draw, where in the everliving frick does that money go?
