One million dollar Mega Millions prize remains unclaimed in Virginia with deadline to redeem fast approaching
Deltaville, Virginia – Time is running out for one lucky Virginia Lottery player to claim a life-changing prize. A Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million from the November 22, 2024, drawing remains unclaimed — and unless someone steps forward soon, the money will be lost forever.
According to the Virginia Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven located at 16624 General Puller Highway in Deltaville. The numbers drawn on that date were 13-20-26-32-65, with the Mega Ball number 2. The ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Mega Ball, securing the second-tier prize of $1 million.
However, Virginia law gives winners 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. That means the deadline to redeem this winning ticket is fast approaching — 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 21. If no one comes forward by then, the ticket will expire and the prize money will be forfeited.
“Check your tickets!” urges the Virginia Lottery, emphasizing the importance of not overlooking even a single ticket. If the prize goes unclaimed, the funds will be directed to Virginia’s Literary Fund. This fund supports public school construction, renovations, and technology through low-interest loans provided to localities.
The Virginia Lottery recommends that the ticket holder contact them as soon as possible. The prize can be claimed at any of the Lottery’s eight customer service centers across the state.
Time is ticking, and a $1 million fortune is hanging in the balance. Anyone who may have bought a ticket in Deltaville for the November 22 drawing is encouraged to double-check their numbers before it’s too late.
