$3 million Mega Millions prize remains unclaimed, Iowa Lottery says
The Iowa Lottery broke a world record on their 40th anniversary
The Iowa Lottery celebrated its 40th anniversary by breaking a Guinness World Record at the Iowa State Fair.
A $3 million Mega Millions prize is waiting for a lucky Iowa Lottery winner to claim it — if the owner realizes they have the winning ticket in the first place.
The winning ticket was purchased at Kwik Star, 1200 Chatham Ave. in Norwalk, for the Nov. 11 drawing.
The winning ticket was sold during a popular streak for Mega Millions, with the jackpot reaching $980 million in the Nov. 14 drawing.
The Norwalk ticket was just one of three in the country to win a prize of $3 million or more in the Nov. 11 drawing.
What were the winning Mega Millions numbers on Nov. 11?
The winning numbers that night were 10-13-40-42-46 and Mega Ball 1.
The ticket sold in Norwalk matched the first five numbers, missing only the Mega Ball to win the $3 million prize.
