Unclaimed $1M Mega Millions ticket sold in DFW will expire soon
PLANO, Texas - Time is running out for a lucky North Texan to claim a $1 million Mega Millions jackpot.
The Texas Lottery Commission said someone purchased a Quick Pick ticket at the RaceTrac on Park Boulevard in Plano in July.
That ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn on July 29. Those numbers were 13, 36, 45, 57 and 67.

The winner has yet to claim the $1 million prize for matching everything but the gold Mega Ball number, which was 14.
He or she has until Jan. 25 at 5 p.m. to claim the money at the Texas Lottery Claim Center.

A second $1 million winner in Prairie View, Texas also still hasn’t come forward.
"The July 29, 2022 Mega Millions drawing was historic – the advertised $1.28 billion jackpot was the second largest in game history – and we certainly hope to celebrate these Texas Lottery players who became $1 million prize winners during that drawing," said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. "We encourage our Mega Millions players to take another look at their tickets, check the numbers again, and if your numbers match, sign the back of the ticket before claiming your prize at a Texas Lottery claim center."
