A MYSTERY player has held onto a massive $1 million unclaimed Mega Millions ticket bought at a gas station.
An American is yet to claim their lottery winnings after the game was drawn on October 25 at an Alta Convenience Store in Creve Coeur, Saint Louis, Missouri.
Several other games have cash prizes that are still unclaimed, including totals of two more $1 million jackpots, $155,862 and $60,000.
The identity of the ticketholder from Saint Louis is still unknown.
But there is still plenty of time for the lucky winner to get their hands on the cash.
The expiration date is April 23 2025, and the winning numbers are 23, 26, 3, 41, 43 and 7.
There are two other Mega Millions prizes still to be taken.
One $1 million jackpot was won at a Quiktrip in Kansas City, drawn on November 15.
The winning numbers for that game were 51, 7, 35, 55, 69, and 19 and the date of expiration on that ticket is May 14 next year.
The third $1 million prize was won at The Pantry in Branson, Missouri with the numbers 23, 26, 35, 41, 43, and 7, which are the same as the Alta ticket holder.
This game expires on April 23 2025.
In other games, Americans can claim winnings ranging from $155,862 to several worth $50,000.
The Show Me Cash game worth $155,862 is the next highest amount to be won, and was bought in Branson West.
If someone has the lucky numbers 10, 14, 17, 19 and 37, they have until February 28 to grab their money.
Another Show Me Cash game is worth $60,000 in Jennings, Lousiana with the numbers 9, 11, 25, 32, and 36 bought on October 19 with an expiration date of April 17, 2025.
Many $50,000 Powerball prizes are also unclaimed, in places like Belton, Texas, Blue Springs, Missouri and Liberty, Kansas City.
These closing dates range from March to June, so winning players are strongly encouraged to double-check their tickets as soon as they can.
