Six months after a ShopRite in Neptune Township sold the winning ticket for the billion-dollar Mega Millions jackpot, the winner has yet to come forward. With only one year from the drawing date to claim the prize, the mystery surrounding the missing winner continues to baffle locals and officials.

"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.
