A little over a month ago, $1.33 billion, the third-largest lottery jackpot in U.S. history, was won by someone who purchased their Mega Millions ticket right here in Illinois at a Speedway gas station in Des Plaines. When you look at that kind of money, you wonder why the winner has not announced themselves to lottery officials yet.
It's been a month, and no one has come forward to claim the $1.3 billion jackpot from July's Mega Millions Drawing... so what happens to that money if no one claims it?
