$20 Million Lottery Ticket Unclaimed

2006_01_earl.jpgDo this right now! Go get that IL Lottery ticket you bought. Now check. Are your numbers 11-18-29-40-49-50 ? They're not? Dang, you didn't win the $20 million.

A grand-prize IL Lottery ticket worth $20 million was sold Saturday night at a Streeterville White Hen (North McClurg court and Ontario). The ticket still has not been claimed. We're imagining that the winner either doesn't know, they pulled an Earl and lost the ticket, or that they are still in a state of shock and trying to get a grip on reality. Whoever the winner is, they have one year to come forward and claim the prize.
