According to The Sun , Officials have announced that one winning ticket worth $3 million remains unclaimed. This ticket, purchased for the November 8 draw, matched five numbers—25, 28, 42, 64, and 69—without hitting the Mega Ball. However, because the player added the Megaplier feature, the prize was tripled from $1 million to an incredible $3 million.
The clock is ticking, though—the winner has until May 7, 2025, to claim the prize. The winning ticket was bought at a Cumberland Farms convenience store located at 1978 West Street in Southington, Connecticut. Connecticut Lottery officials are urging players to check any tickets purchased around the November 8 draw date to see if they’ve won this life-changing sum.
If the prize goes unclaimed, the $3 million will be returned to the state and used for various lottery-funded programs. So, if you purchased a Mega Millions ticket recently, make sure to check it carefully.
To play Mega Millions, you choose five numbers from 1 to 70 and a Mega Ball from 1 to 25. For additional winnings, you can opt for the Megaplier, which multiplies non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. Mega Millions drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at 11 PM ET.

Could you be the lucky winner? Time is running out, so check your tickets—you might be Connecticut’s next multimillionaire.
