Winner of $19M lottery jackpot has under 3 weeks to claim prize

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) _ Someone has a New Jersey Lottery ticket worth $19 million, and less than 3 weeks to claim the prize.

There was one winning ticket for last year's April 24 drawing, but the year deadline to claim the prize is approaching quickly and no one has stepped forward, lottery officials said.

"Somewhere out there is one very lucky lottery player, and we'd really like to meet them," New Jersey Lottery's acting executive director William T. Jourdain said in a statement.

The Pick 6 Lotto ticket, with winning numbers 05-24-27-28-33-37, was sold at 24 Seven in Newark. The store received $2,000 for selling the winning ticket, according to NJ Lottery spokesman Dominick DeMarco.

If no one comes forward with the winning ticket before April 24, most of the money would be used to benefit education and institutions, with the rest of it going to support special Lottery prize offerings, officials said.

3. maybe they need to check death records from the day of the drawing

or the next day. See how many died of heart attacks.. and if any of them lived or worked in close vicinity to the store that sold the ticket.

I know I'd probably keel over if I found out I had a $19,000,000 lottery ticket in my hand... that's just how my luck goes.
