Six months after a winning ticket worth $1.13 billion was sold in Neptune Township, New Jersey, the mystery of the missing winner continues to baffle locals and lottery officials. The clock is ticking as the winner has only one year from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.
In a coastline New Jersey community, there's a mystery unfolding that no one seems to know the answer to: why hasn't the big jackpot winner come forward?
"Maybe they're getting their ducks in a row, maybe they're getting their affairs in order. We don't know what's going on here," Carey said. "I don't know if they threw it out, but they probably put it aside with a bunch of other lottery tickets. They're going to do what I'm doing, going home and checking them," John Walsh said.
