cutty sark: Thank you for your comment. It was important to Director Martino that the agency reminded Lottery players to re-check their Mega Millions tickets after the “big drawing” on 3/30 so no one missed out on smaller prizes. While it sounds like you are very knowledgeable about the game, there were many first-time players who participated in the drawing. It was important to remind these new players that even if their ticket wasn’t purchased at the Milford Mill 7-11, they could still have won something. Weeks after the drawing, we again reached out to media about unclaimed second-tier prizes and, as a result, two of the three outstanding second-tier prizes were claimed.

Vdiaz: Entries do not roll over into subsequent drawings.

Gregg: We know for certain that the winning ticket was purchased as a single quick pick ticket at 7:15 pm. There are timestamp discrepancies with the security video so we can’t definitively state who bought the ticket. We are simply waiting for the winner to come in and claim there prize. We’ll know more at that time.

Diane4927: Great question! No, the store owner does not have to wait to get their money – the fact that it was purchased at that store is the only proof necessary.

My guess is the lying bitch from McDonalds is full of it and didnt win it at all!!!! Just looking for her 15mins of fame and I hope her McDonalds salary can cover that lawyer fee for what that idiot had to do to make her look credible yesterday.
