Too bad your $1 million Powerball ticket just expired

Think you're behind on your paperwork? Imagine the poor soul who will eventually find an expired $1 million winning lottery ticket languishing in their "to do" pile. After no one stepped forward to claim the cash prize, a $1 million Idaho Lottery Powerball ticket expired on Friday. The disorganized gambler purchased the $2 quick pick at a Meridian Maverik store back in mid-June, probably feeling lucky (or drunk) the night before the drawing. Too bad for them, but lucky for both Maverik, Inc., which will still receive its $20,000 bonus for selling the ticket, and for Idahoans; after 180 days, unclaimed prize money goes to a fund for public schools and permanent buildings.[Source]
