I went to check my tickets this morning (much to my chagrin). In any event, there was a printed list as of October 28th, 2011 of the unclaimed lottery prizes (don't know if it was at that location only).
Surprisingly, other than nominal scratch card winnings, there were a few $50,000 prizes as well as some $75,000 prizes. There was one $1 Million dollar prize from an Instant Millions scratch card. The other ones seemed to come from scratch cards too.
I'm not surprised by this. People don't visually or scan-check their cards or tickets well enough, and a few prizes will slip thru the cracks. If only they knew, but then again, ignorance is bliss.
