UPDATE: $250,000 Mega Millions Ticket Expires

Winning Ticket Bought in October is now worthless.


A winning Mega Millions ticket worth $250,000 has expired. The deadline to redeem the ticket was 5:00 p.m. Monday. CBS 6 contacted the Virginia Lottery as soon as the deadline passed, and we were told no ticket holder came forward.

The unclaimed cash will now go to the state literary fund.

The Lottery says it was bought at the Chevron Corner Mart on Ironbridge Road across from the county courthouse.
