$44 Million Remains Unclaimed at Florida Lottery
The Florida Lottery reminds players to check their tickets. A $44 million lotto prize has gone unclaimed for over six months. The jackpot may be nullified. The Florida Lottery says the winning Quick Pick ticket was bought at Sunoco Express Kissimmee. The June 14 drawing winning numbers were 9-13-15-46-51-21. Most winners get a year to redeem their tickets, but Florida winners have 180 days. At midnight on December 11, this ticket expires. The lottery is harsh on players who try to cash void tickets. Winning tickets can be validated at any Florida Lottery shop, but prizes must be claimed in Tallahassee. Call 1-800-522-4700 or visit the National Council on Problem Gambling website for gambling addiction help.
Each Florida Lottery player picks six numbers from 1 to 53. However, marking the “Quick Pick” option allows for random selection. ‘Double Play’ costs $1 and may net players more rewards. Not everyone with lucky numbers knows they can ask the shop to play them in more drawings. State law requires 80% of expired ticket unclaimed prize cash to go to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund. The remaining 20% goes back into the prize fund for future prizes or promotions.
Education spending in Florida may increase significantly. A grocery store ticket’s $43,000 lottery prize jackpot is nearing its expiration. A $40,000 Florida Lottery prize expired a few days ago after six months without a winner. Players must realize that buying a ticket is not the final step to winning. You must verify your win. More millions could disappear nationwide.
