Unclaimed $1 million winning lottery ticket about to expire

PASADENA, TX (KTRK) -- A prizewinning Mega Millions ticket worth $1 million will soon expire. The Texas Lottery Commission is asking Mega Millions players to check tickets purchased for the June 17 drawing. The deadline to claim the prize is Sunday, December 14.

The winning numbers for the drawing were 10-14-24-47-60-3. The ticket was purchased at Sellers Brothers Grocery at 220 Preston Street in Pasadena.

"We encourage our players to take another look at their tickets, check the numbers again and if your numbers match, sign the back of the ticket and contact us," said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery.

A ticket holder forfeits any claim to a prize after the expiration of the 180th day following the draw date. Lottery officials say the deadline may be extended for a period of time for certain eligible military personnel. Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature.

Since 1995, more than $837 million in unclaimed Texas Lottery prize funds has gone back to the state.
