Unclaimed $2.9 million Mega Millions ticket about to expire after being sold in December
California lottery players check those tickets because you might be $2.9 million richer.
A Mega Millions ticket that’s worth an estimated $2,941,708 million is set to expire this weekend. The lucky ticket was purchased in Los Angeles for the Dec. 12, 2023 drawing, the press release from the Mega Millions said.
The ticket was sold at the SK gas station on 11280 National Boulevard, the release said.
The winning numbers were 8, 23, 44, 45, and 53, just missing the Mega Number 3.
Mega Millions winners who match all five white ball numbers have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize.
If no one claims $2.9 million by this weekend, all the money will go to public schools in California, the lottery said.
Anyone with that winning ticket has until 5 p.m. on Friday to bring the ticket to one of the nine California Lottery’s offices.
The winner can also fill out paperwork found here with the ticket and paperwork postmarked on or before Saturday
