$1M Mega Millions Ticket Unclaimed In MD, Expires Christmas Day

BALTIMORE, MD – Time is running out to claim a winning $1 million Mega Millions ticket sold by a Fort Washington gas station in June, according to Maryland Lottery officials. The ticket expires on Dec. 25, do you have it?

No one has yet claimed the prize from the June 26 drawing. The winning Mega Millions numbers were 17, 25, 29, 39 and 60; the Mega Ball number was 19. Tantallon Exxon at 10815 Indian Head Highway in Fort Washington sold the winning ticket on the day of the drawing, a news release says.

The winner should bring the ticket and required identification (listed at mdlottery.com/winners/how-to-claim) to the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center at 1800 Washington Boulevard in Baltimore. Because the day the game expires falls on a state holiday, the winner must claim the prize by 4:15 p.m. Monday, Dec. 24.

This is the third $1 million winning Mega Millions ticket sold in Maryland in 2018. “Mega Money Mama” claimed the prize from the June 15 drawing and “Ravens Millionaire” claimed the prize from the Aug. 10 drawing. There was one $1 million Mega Millions winner in 2017 and four in 2016.

Since its inception in 1973, Maryland Lottery and Gaming has awarded more than $25.6 billion in prizes to players and more than $16 billion in revenue to the state of Maryland for education, public safety and health, human resources and the environment. For more information, go to mdlottery.com.
