Oh well, guess its all going back to the state


Am I the only one bothered by this? All of the money should go back to the pot, the governments 50% cut has already been taken out.

If this is still unclaimed on April 1st, I'm buying a plane ticket to Simpsonville, South Carolina and going on a 1.5 billion dollar treasure hunt.

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

take a pic for this very reason.


Taking a pic of a wining ticket wouldn’t help in a lost ticket situation though as you must have the physical ticket to claim your prize.

The lottery is a giant sting operation to catch time travelers.

Since lotto tickets are all date time stamped it seems like by using this information and the store security video recordings (assuming it exists) one could get an idea of who may have been the person that bought the winning ticket.

but alas the the rules call for those frickers to keep it which brings suspicion


It goes back to the states education fund from what I understand.

I’m interested to hear the tinfoil conspiracy theory though. What’s that all about?

Why would the lottery do that though? I know I wouldn’t be wasting time and money to figure out a way to make a 1.5 billion dollar liability come to fruition.

threw the ticket away because I didn't want the money to change me


Money doesn’t change people. It merely amplifies them.

FWIW I’d buy a shitton of land, travel the world, and bang that mythical OT 10.

I always thought they'd could figure it out this way. Or at least narrow it down to a handful of lotto ticket buyers

Interesting topic.

Does the retailer that sold the ticket get a percentage even if the ticket is not redeemed?

I doubt it. If I we're the retailer I would be looking at the video ( if any! ) and doing my own looking.

The state of South Carolina has millions of reasons to look for the lottery winner.

At this point, lost ticket, no knowledge that you won. Plenty of time to setup a trust, hire an attorney, and collect anonymously.

Yup I know a few guys at ZF Transmission and it was a young guy there. Supposedly he was waiting for the new year but I have no idea why he still hasn't claimed it
