A missed deadline last weekend means someone in Florida lost out on $36 million.
No one stepped up to claim the prize from the August drawing before the deadline, rendering the Mega Millions lottery ticket void.
As a result, the winner has forfeited the winnings – the ticket is now only worth the paper it was printed on, Michelle Griner, a spokesperson with the Florida Lottery, told CNN.
The deadline to claim the prize was Sunday, marking the end of the 180-day claim period. The winning ticket was purchased at a Publix in Jacksonville with the winning numbers: 18-39-42-57-63. The Mega Ball number was 7 with a multiplier of 3x.

My bet is they’re in prison/jail and don’t know they won.
Or dead.
Or washed the ticket. Left it in their jeans
