Local $244,468 Winning Lottery Ticket Worth $0 In One Week
September 29, 2010
In one week, a $244,468.47 winning Fantasy 5 ticket purchased in North Escambia will be worth nothing.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the Florida Lottery said no one had claimed the $244,468.47 winning Fantasy 5 ticket that was purchased April 9, 2010, at the State Line O’Yes Lotto at 11331 Highway 97 in Davisville.
The Florida Lottery allows winners 180 days to claim their prize; the April 9 winning ticket will expire October 6 at which time the $244.468.47 will be split with 80 percent going to the Education Trust Fund and the remaining 20 percent returned to the prize pool.
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.

Dave that is a very good question. But, I would think the store would still get it’s bonus money. Or at least I would hope so it’s not their fault no one came forward to claim it. This could have been someone just passing thru and don’t even know they have won. Sad.
I wonder if the store will lose its bonus for selling the winning tickit if its not claimed. That would be awful for the store.
