Forfeited: $68K Lottery Ticket Goes Unclaimed
July 29, 2010
A $68,663.34 lottery prize for a winning ticket sold near Jay has been forfeited.
No one claimed the Fantasy Five prize ticket by the 180 day deadline, meaning the prize money returned to the state. Florida law requires that 80 percent of unclaimed prize funds from expired tickets be transferred directly to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund. The remaining 20 percent is returned to the prize pool from which future prizes are awarded or used for special prize promotions.
The Fantasy 5 ticket was sold January 25 at McDonald’s State Line Lotto on Highway 87 at the Alabama/Florida line. The prize winner had 180 days to claim the prize, and that time period expired at midnight Saturday.
The winning numbers were 2-13-19-24-28.
