According to a recent Virginia Lottery alert, a Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million bought in Deltaville will expire soon unless it is redeemed.
The Mega Millions ticket won $1 million in the Nov. 22, 2024, drawing. Since then, no one has come forward with that winning ticket to claim the prize.
By law, winning tickets in Virginia expire 180 days after the drawing. That means the ticket will become worthless at 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 21.
The ticket was bought at the 7-Eleven at 16624 General Puller Highway in Deltaville. The winning numbers for that drawing were 13-20-26-32-65, and the Mega Ball number was 2.
This ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Mega Ball number.
Unclaimed prizes, by law, go to Virginia’s Literary Fund, which provides low-interest loans to localities for public school construction, renovations and technology upgrades.
Whoever has the winning ticket should contact the Virginia Lottery immediately. The Lottery has eight customer service centers across Virginia where the ticket can be redeemed.
All Virginia Lottery profits go to K-12 education in Virginia. The ticket was bought in Middlesex County, which received more than $720,000 in Lottery funds for K-12 education last fiscal year.
In Fiscal Year 2024, the Lottery raised more than $934 million for K-12 education, making up approximately 10% of Virginia’s total K-12 school budget.
