OOPS!!!!!!!!  But since I lived in Jax for quite a while, I can think of 4 possible reason why this happened..... 1) The winner is a guest of the Jacksonville Sheriff's office or the Florida DOC, 2) The winner is deceased either by natural causes and their family members didn't know about the ticket or the winner was killed in an accident or by some thug, 3) They may have thrown it away, or 4) They just forgot about it........

Winner of Florida $36M Mega Millions jackpot never claimed it

The winning ticket holder had 180 days to claim the windfall

The luck of a $36 million Mega Millions jackpot winner ran out earlier this week after not claiming their winnings.

The eight-figure grand prize, won with a lottery ticket from a Publix in Jacksonville, Florida, expired once the midnight deadline on Sunday passed without the claimant coming forward, the Florida Lottery confirmed to FOX Business. 

Mega Millions and the Florida Lottery both urged people in Florida who used the Publix to play the lottery to take another look at their tickets prior to the jackpot’s expiration date.
