LOTTERY officials are searching for an incredibly lucky Mega Millions player who may be unaware they are sitting on a $40,000 prize – with just hours left to claim it.
The punter won the immense prize after buying a ticket in Louisiana – but could miss out on the eye-watering sum if they don’t act fast.

And the jackpot-hitter has still not claimed their winnings despite months passing since the win.
Singh Brothers Two sold the winning slip.
The store is based at 28010 Highway 190, Lacombe, LA 70445.
Fortunately, the triumphant player took the ticket with Megaplier.
The Megaplier feature is designed to increase non-jackpot Mega Millions winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.
It costs an extra $1 to play.
Before each Mega Millions drawing, the Megaplier balls are randomly selected – showing either a 2X, 3X, 4X, or 5X multiplier.
The ball which is drawn determines how many times the non-jackpot winning tickets will be increased in value.
But if the winning player doesn’t pick up their cash prize in the next few hours – all of that will be for nothing, and the free $40,000 will vanish into thin air.
Having bought the ticket on December 17, 2024, the customer is rapidly running out of time to get the money before the deadline approaches.
They have until June 15 to collect their money.
So if you or someone you know won this cash prize, they need to claim their winnings on Sunday.
The Mega Millions unclaimed prizes list also shows a longer series of winners who are also yet to claim their money.
One winner bought their ticket in Arizona.
And they too have just hours before their money turns to dust.
The expiry date and last chance to claim the free $10,000 prize is also June 15.
And the winner for this smaller jackpot also purchased their lucky slip on December 17.
