I’m guessing the winner is just waiting for the next Freepathon.

[right way right]

I won and, I’m donating it to the NRA.

Seceral possible explanations:
1) The ticket was left in the pocket of a pair of pants that went through the washer
2) The ticket fell into a space in the couch,long forgotten.
3) The winner is in talks with a lawyer and/or accountant and will have his/her LLC claim the prize soon.

As for #2...there’s a chance that this ticket will be found after the established expiration date,which could set off fireworks that would be fun to watch.

Jee Patel - there’s a honey-dipped Carolina name eh?

I bought ten quick picks once when the jackpot was really high. I forgot the ticket in my pants pocket and accidentally washed it. I was left with a ball of paper that was completely illegible. I though, wouldn't that just suck if I won the jackpot and never knew.

Maybe that's what this guy did.

If I had won this, I’d be afraid the longer I try to hide, the more likely it is the store will release surveillance footage from the ticket purchase, if they have it.

[wjcsux]

Maybe the winner lives in New Jersey or New York and is afraid of the taxes due.

[Blue House Sue]

Someone lost their winning ticket.

No one would wait more than two months to claim their prize.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Whoever it is inappropriately touched me 20 years ago.

[EdnaMode]

What are they waiting for?

[Lazamataz]

Imagine if the guy (or gal) lost the ticket, does not know it is a winner, or died.

[minnesota_bound]

The winner probably dropped dead after learning they won $1.5 billion. News item: Body found 2 months after person last seen.

[Lurker]

“Throughout the country, states spend a significant portion of lottery proceeds on education.”

BS.

[Mr. Blond]

Nobody wants to pay the taxes.

[Hotlanta Mike]

It was purchased by some tweaker who lost the damn thing...

[ConservativeMind]

I wonder if he/she is establishing residency in a tax friendly, anonymous friendly state.

They have ‘t realized the money, yet, so it should be okay.

[lowbridge]

I won it, but i was cheated when they sold me a lottery ticket with the wrong numbers.

[SuperLuminal]

Very smart... It takes a lot of time to find an honest intelligent lawyer, to get relocated, names changed, phones and utilities disconnected, determine the location that is maximally distant from "former" family & friends, get face reworked and finger prints removed, do all future banking in the Cayman Isles, get debit cards from the Cayman bank, shred the hard drive or disc of every electronic device you possess, and shred and cancel all credit cards...

Finally tell the wife, the kids, and the girl friend that you are doing all this because you are wanted for a murder (that you did not do)... This will probably be the only way your secret can remain in tact... Most significant others always blab...
