$1 Million Mega Millions Prize Unclaimed After 11 Months; Ticket Sold in Grand Rapids

MSL MegaMillions LogoLess than a month remains for the lucky winner of a $1 million Mega Millions prize to come forward and claim the big prize.

It has been 11 months since one lucky ticket matched the first five numbers – 25-28-36-45-53 – in the Aug. 5, 2014 Mega Millions drawing to win $1 million. The Lottery has yet to hear from the lucky winner.

The winning ticket was purchased at the CVS Pharmacy, located at 727 28th Street Southeast in Grand Rapids.

Tickets for Mega Millions are valid for one year from the drawing date, so the prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. on Aug. 5. The winner should contact the Michigan Lottery Public Relations Division at (517) 373-1237 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prize. The prize must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing. Unclaimed lottery prizes go to the state’s School Aid Fund.

Mega Millions drawings take place each Tuesday and Friday evening. Each Mega Millions play is only $1. For an additional $1 per play, players have the opportunity to add a Megaplier that can multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to five times.

Mega Millions tickets may be purchased at the Lottery’s 11,000 retailers around the state until 10:45 p.m. the day of a drawing. The jackpot for Tuesday’s Mega Millions drawing is $96 million.
