Billion-Dollar Mega Millions Ticket Worth $1.13 Billion Remains Unclaimed in New Jersey
A Mega Millions lottery ticket worth an astonishing $1.13 billion remains unclaimed in New Jersey, raising questions about the whereabouts of the winner. Sold six months ago at a liquor store in Monmouth County, the lucky ticket has yet to be claimed, and time is running out.
Winners have one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes, meaning the holder of this monumental ticket has just six months left to come forward. If claimed, the cash value of the ticket is estimated at $537.5 million. The winning numbers from the drawing are 07, 11, 22, 29, and 38, with the Gold Mega Ball number being 04 and the Multiplier number 02.
While it’s common for winners of large jackpots to take their time in filing a claim, officials urge all players to check their tickets. According to a 2020 New Jersey law, lottery winners are allowed to remain anonymous indefinitely, and their identities will not be included in public records available for inspection under the State’s Open Public Records Act. So, whether the winner is preparing to secure their finances or has inadvertently lost the ticket, the clock is ticking for this potential millionaire.
