Ohio Lottery Announces 27th Classic Lotto Jackpot Worth $1.4 Million Still Unclaimed
LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:The Ohio Lottery has announced the 27th Classic Lotto jackpot worth $1.4 million, which is yet to be claimed. The winning ticket was purchased in Butler County from Don’s Carry Out in Darrtown. The Classic Lotto game was launched in 2007 and has recorded 27 jackpot wins so far.
It is rare for three jackpots to be won in a single month, but the 25th, 26th, and 27th jackpot wins all happened in April. The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 13,983,816, which makes it a very difficult game to win.
Winners have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize. Failure to claim a win will result in the jackpot being redirected to schools in Ohio. However, the Ohio Lottery’s spokesperson, Marie Kilbane, expressed confidence that the other two jackpot winners will come forward before the deadline. Kilbane also mentioned that the Ohio Lottery has a good rate of winners claiming their jackpots, and she hopes this trend will continue.
Don’s Carry Out, where the winning ticket was purchased, has been inundated with customers since the news of the massive jackpot became public. The owner, Eric Beckett, hopes the winner will come forward by October. After taxes, the winner will receive approximately $614,880 net cash payout if they opt for a lump sum. If they choose annual payments, they will receive a $1,008,000 net annuity payout out of the total $1.4 million won.
The Ohio Lottery has reminded the public to always sign their lottery tickets and to keep them in a safe place. Lottery winners are encouraged to seek legal and financial advice before claiming their prize.
In conclusion, the 27th Classic Lotto jackpot of $1.4 million is still unclaimed in Ohio. Winners have 180 days to claim their prize before it is redirected to schools in Ohio. It is important to always sign lottery tickets and keep them in a safe place. Lottery winners should seek legal and financial advice before claiming their prize.
