The release, whole: On February 9, 2022, the Hoosier Lottery announced that two Indiana tickets had won $1 million in the Mega Millions drawing of Tuesday, February 8, 2022, each matching five of five numbers and missing only the Mega Ball, in a drawing whose jackpot was an estimated $31 million. The winning numbers were 1-17-20-52-54, Mega Ball 2. One of the two tickets was purchased at Casey's #1994, 311 Pearl Street, Covington, in Fountain County. The other — this city's — was purchased at Golo Food Mart, located at 12530 McKinley Avenue in Mishawaka. The release, in the Lottery's standard form, instructs the ticket holder to keep the ticket in a secure place, consider meeting a financial advisor, and contact Hoosier Lottery customer service for claim instructions. It names the store, the street, the game, the date and the amount. It does not name the holder.
The claim test, run and printed: A $1 million Mega Millions prize is exactly the class of win the Lottery ordinarily follows with a winner story when a claimant comes forward publicly — named individual, or a trust or other claimant form stated, as Indiana's record elsewhere supplies both. For the Golo ticket, searches run for this section — the Hoosier Lottery's winner stories and news archive for Golo Food Mart, for Mishawaka Mega Millions, and for the February 8, 2022 drawing; the Tribune record as indexed — return no claimant: no name, no trust, no claim announcement, no follow-up release in any source reached. The claim window is fixed by the Lottery's own rules: draw-game prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the drawing, which for February 8, 2022 closed in August 2022. What the record therefore supports, and what this article prints, is a sold-here million with an undocumented end: either claimed without a published story — possible, and unprovable from the published record — or unclaimed and expired, in which case the prize money reverted under the Lottery's unclaimed-prize handling. The Lottery's published winner and unclaimed records reached for this section do not say which, and the article does not choose. Settling source named: the Hoosier Lottery's claim record for the February 8, 2022 Mega Millions drawing, Golo Food Mart ticket — a record the Lottery holds and has not published in the sources reached. This is Mishawaka's documented unclaimed/expired-prize test case, and it is carried again, at pointer size, in the not-a-winner article below.
