Ohio Lottery Players Fail to Claim $130 Million in Prizes
Speaking recently, a representative from the Ohio State Lottery admitted that over $130 million in lottery winnings have gone unclaimed since the summer of 2008. "We try to put in safeguards so that customers can conveniently check their tickets," Marie Kilbane stated. "Our ticket checkers, which are available at all of our retailers, will let you know if you've won and how much you've won."
