No one still receives a prize after the lottery one month

According to the lottery website in Illinois, this lottery was sold at a gas station at a gas station in the northwest of Chicago on July 29. The first day of the first $ 1.34 billion was won. However, as of August 30, the luckymen had not yet won the prize.

According to reports, in accordance with local rules, the winners have two options: either take a one -time cash of $ 780.5 million, or take away all 1.34 billion US dollars in 29 years. Earlier, Sky News Network reported that almost all the winners of the first prize chose cash options.

In addition, the US $ 1.34 billion lottery prize is the second largest "super million" bonus. The largest "super million" prize so far is $ 1.537 billion in 2018. This is also the third largest lottery bonus in the United States, second only to the $ 1.5 billion bonus in 2018 and 2016. In 2016, the strong ball award is still the largest first prize in American history with a prize of $ 1.586 billion.

Although the lucky people still did not come forward, he was not the only one who had not received the bonus. The Illinois Lottery website said that in February this year, the $ 1 million lottery and several six -digit bonuses did not receive the prize.

Caimin can receive prizes within one year

According to the National Public Broadcasting Station (NPR), Illinois Lottery said that bonuses can be collected within one year, so there is no need to worry. However, if the winner has not appeared before the end of July next year, the participating state of the "Super Million" game will take back the money. Each state will use unmanned lottery bonuses for different purposes, but unmanned bonuses are usually retained in the state lottery funds.

At the previous press conference on winning, lottery officials said that it is common to wait for winners to receive bonuses. Harold Mess, the director of Illinois Lottery, said in the press release: "For such a big bonus, the winners need to receive it for a while. It is not uncommon for it. I am convinced that they are experiencing a series of emotions."

Lottery officials suggested that winners signed and stored safely on the back of the lottery. They will call the lottery hotline to receive the bonus on the lottery hotline.

Even if the lottery has won the award, the general public may never know who the lucky person is. Because the winner of 250,000 US dollars or more can maintain anonymous in Illinois.

According to the United States today, so far, there are only three unmanned prize prizes in the "Super Million" lottery games. On August 1, 2006, the first prize of 31 million US dollars was no one claimed in Queens of New York. On April 25, 2003, the first prize of $ 46 million was unattended in Brooklyn, New York. On December 24, 2002, the minimum prize of $ 68 million in New York was unattended.
