A jackpot-winning ticket worth nearly $200 million dollars is just hours past its expiration date and no winner has yet claimed the prize.

The Mega Millions ticket was one of two winning tickets sold on December 8, 2023 at the same Chevron gas station in Encino, located in the 18000 block of Ventura Boulevard, both of which reached all six numbers needed to reach the jackpot to take home — 21, 26, 53, 66, 70 and 13.

While one of the winners claimed half of the $395 million prize, the second half remains unclaimed with just hours to go until it expires at the end of Saturday.

“We have no way of knowing who has the second jackpot-winning ticket of that incredible evening,” California Lottery spokesperson Carolyn Becker said. “While it is an embarrassment for potential winners to see a winning ticket expire, it does provide a useful boost to California’s public schools. All unclaimed prize money goes to support public education, so we can still feel good about it at the end of the month. day.”

The winner has multiple options to claim their prize.

The ticket, along with the accompanying claim form, can be taken to any of the nine California Lottery offices throughout California. Otherwise, they can fill out the paperwork, which is available online, and send it through the mail to the California Lottery headquarters. It must be postmarked by Saturday.
