LAST CHANCE: MD Lottery Looking for Unclaimed $250K Winner

The owners of the 7-Eleven franchise on Beaver Dam Road in Timonium have all but given up hope on meeting the winner of a $250,000 Mega Millions ticket that was sold at their store.

The ticket was one of five winners sold on March 30—the same day the three Marylanders won a record-breaking $656 million Mega Millions grand prize. Now the deadline to claim the second-tier prize is quickly approaching.

The ticket must be claimed by Friday, Sept. 28 at 4:30 p.m.

Three of the four second-tier winners in Maryland were claimed in Baltimore, Boonsboro and Bel Air, although the ticket purchased in Timonium remains at large.

"It's very uncommon," Erica Palmisano, a Maryland Lottery spokeswoman said. 

Only three big money tickets since 1986 have gone unclaimed, according Palmisano.

• $1.5 million Lotto ticket in January 1986
• $1 million Lotto ticket in September 1991
• $250,000 second-tier Mega Millions ticket in August 2010

The winning numbers were: 2 - 4 - 23 - 38 - 46. (Second tier winners only have to match five numbers, without the bonus match ball.)

There were 161 $250,000 winners across the country, according to the Mega Millions website.
