$81,500,000 unclaimed lottery prize in Illinois

[Mind_your_head]

Was just looking at the Illinois Lottery web-page and noticed that there is an unclaimed prize worth $81,500,000 from the drawing December 18, 2007. :wow: Ticket was purchased at a Shell Station in Streamwood, IL.

Any DU'ers buy a lotto ticket in Streamwood around Christmas-time last year? ;-)

I'm surprised this hasn't been in the area papers.

4. Damn! Some years ago in the Dallas area, this guy won 12 mil and couldn't collect because wife had

washed his pants which contained the winning lotto ticket. :spank: Always check your pants' pockets. :silly:
