If you scroll back in the report I posted above, (to 7/4/2023) you'll see the word "EXPIRED" in the winners name field of the report. Some poor soul won and subsequently lost $115,472 because they never claimed their jackpot winning Florida Fantasy5 ticket. Don't let something like that happen to YOU!
Think it's hard to let a winning ticket expire and it'll never happen to you? Better rethink that. Here's why -
While I was working and living in NY, I had a friend at work named Keith. Keith was an all around good guy and most of my coworkers liked him. He was a lottery player like me, but he was more into scratch-off's than online games. One day he showed up at my desk and said "You wont believe what happened to me yesterday." He then proceeded to tell me that he had bought a new car and had picked it up that morning.
So I congratulated him on his new set of wheels and he said "Well, I kinda screwed up BIGTIME!"
A little less than one year prior to our conversation at work, he was running late to a doctor's appointment when he noticed his old car was almost out of gas. He thought that he probably didn't have enough gas to make it to the DR's office so he pulled into a gas station. He bought gas, and also a $20 scratch off. He ran out to his car, where he normally scratched his tickets and if he had a winner would go back into the store, but he knew he didn't have enough time to scratch the ticket, so he threw it into his glove compartment and took off for the Dr's office.
After the DR's appointment he totally forgot that scratch off was still in his glove compartment. So he rode around for about a year with it in his glove compartment. Then one day he decided to trade in his old car and buy a new one, so the day before he went to the car dealer to pick up his new car, he cleaned out his old car, and found the scratch off. He won $4,700. Through lots of laughter he also told me "I never even locked the doors or the glove compartment of that old pile of crap!" "Yeah?" I said. You wouldn't be laughing now if the NY Lottery had pulled that scratch off from retailers shelves because all the top prizes had been won." It was just a few weeks later when that very thing happened. Thats how easy it is to hammer yourself with a lottery ticket. G5
