An Unclaimed $197 Million Lottery Ticket Expires Tomorrow
You've probably heard stories about people who have lost hundreds . . . maybe even thousands of dollars . . . because they've misplaced their lottery tickets. (I mean I get upset whenever I lose a $5 coupon.)
But this is CRAZY. Last year, two tickets were sold at a gas station in Encino, California that hit the $395 million jackpot, but only one winner has come forward.
They have to split the prize, so that means someone won $197 MILLION and hasn't claimed it yet . . . and the deadline is TOMORROW. If the winner does NOT come forward, it expires, and the $197 million goes to the state, where it would be routed to California public schools.
The winning numbers are: 21, 26, 53, 66, 70, 13 . . . so if you know ANYONE who may have bought a ticket in Encino, you might want to let them know. By the way, the current Mega Millions jackpot is $579 million.

(If you're the winner, first of all: Where the heck have you been? And secondly, here's how to claim your fortune.)
(I imagine someone thought of this: But it's strange that they were both sold at the same gas station. Could they have been the SAME person?)
