Luck of the Irish: Will Michigan’s Mystery Millionaire Claim Their Prize?

Someone out there is sitting on a potential pot of gold, and it's not just any ordinary treasure—it's a whopping $1 million Mega Millions prize! You could consider this to be the luck of the Irish, but it's only lucky if they don't let it disappear before they claim it.

On St. Patrick's Day, March 17, 2023, someone walked into a CVS to buy a lottery ticket in hopes they may be as lucky as the green they were wearing. They bought a ticket, and later that day the stars aligned as those lucky white balls rolled out: 26, 28, 29, 39, and 49 gaining them a potential MILLION DOLLAR prize.

But here's the kicker—the mysterious winner hasn't stepped forward yet! Can you imagine the leprechauns dancing in delight over this untapped fortune?

The ticket was purchased at a Detroit area CVS Pharmacy located at 18130 W. 10 Mile Road in Southfield, and the lucky owner is running out of time to cash it in. And lets be honest, on Michigan's favorite drinking day, it's easy to believe they may not even know they have the ticket to start.

What happens if someone doesn't claim a lottery ticket in Michigan?

If that lucky person is still out there holding on to the ticket, they're running out of time to claim their ticket. Each winner has a year to claim their winnings before they automatically forfeit the prize. With St. Paddy's Day fast approaching yet again, this lucky duck has until Friday, March 15, at 4:45 p.m. to claim their treasure trove.

If our elusive winner doesn't emerge from hiding, fear not, for the loot won't be entirely lost. The cash will find its way into the state School Aid Fund, ensuring it still serves a noble cause.

So, if you suspect you might be the unsuspecting millionaire or know someone who fits the bill, don't dilly-dally! Reach out to the Michigan Lottery crew pronto at 844-917-6325 to secure your slice of the pie. After all, who wouldn't want to be the hero of their own St. Patrick's Day tale? Let's chase those rainbows and claim that pot o' gold!
