It’s been over two months since someone became a quarter million dollars richer after buying a lottery ticket in Davisville, but so far no one has stepped forward to claim their prize.

As of Friday, the Florida Lottery said no one had claimed the $244.468.47 winning Fantasy 5 ticket that was purchased April 9 at the State Line O’Yes Lotto at 11331 Highway 97. Lottery officials said the ticket was a “Quick Pick” with numbers randomly chosen by the lottery machine.

Only one ticket matched the winning numbers:  13-21-25-28-36. According to the Florida Lottery, the owner of the winning ticket must claim their prize within 180 days.

There were 287 tickets with four matching numbers worth $137 each. There were 9,650 tickets matching three numbers that were worth $11 each, and 100,219  had two numbers for a free Quick Pick ticket.

    OMG! I can’t believe that someone would not claim their winnings on this amount of money, I really hope the person knows that they have won this and will hurry and get the money, before their 180 days are up to be able to claim it…
