If you played the last week’s Jumbo Bucks Lottery, please check your ticket for one more time. The winner of $3.8 million lottery ticket has still not come forward to claim his winnings.
The ABC Food Mart downtown on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard near Hazel Street sold the Jumbo Bucks ticket on Thursday. The winner has 180 days deadline from the date of drawing to claim the winnings.
The winning numbers were: 8-12-23-24-30-31
According to Che Lee, the co-owner of the store, he believes a regular customer of his hit the big prize. ABC Food Mart has sold many winning tickets earlier. So far, the highest amount won at the ABC Food Mart was $5,000. The store has a record of all the game played, prizes won and the date of winning posted on the wall.
Although many winners prefer to remain anonymous after massive winnings, the Georgia Lottery Corporation stated that it is not an option. According to Georgia Lottery Corporation, it is required to reveal the basic information of lottery winners such as their name, place where they reside, game played, and amount scooped, etc. There is no option of any anonymity. Georgia Lottery winners cannot remain anonymous.
Moreover, last year, a Georgia legislator proposed a bill to let the lottery winners stay anonymous. At the same time, the Georgia Lottery will reduce the size of their jackpot by 25%. However, the proposed bill did not clear the general assembly.
Above all, although the multi-million winner has not come forward, many say they have an idea of the winner. “I probably see him every day, so it just depends on when they’re willing to step forward and announce that they’re the winners,” said Anthony Johnson, a customer. He also said that someone is going to find out anyway, so it won’t be a big secret.
