As reported by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "Somewhere in a wallet, in a
purse, or maybe in a Dumpster, lies a Washington lottery ticket worth $6.3
million. "And whoever has it might not know about the gold mine. No one has
claimed the winning ticket since the Lotto numbers were drawn last Monday.
"Lottery officials don't know who wins until someone steps forward. Most
people claim their winnings within 48 hours, but this time it has already
been a week, said Jacque Coe, communications director for the Washington
Lottery. ".The winning numbers were 3-8-9-10-13-47. The ticket was sold at
the Northtown QFC in Bellevue. ".But whoever won last week's unclaimed
ticket has time to realize it. Winners have 180 days from the drawing date
to cash in."
