Lottery winner walks away with nothing after failing to collect the $36 million Mega Millions jackpot.

The $36 million Mega Millions jackpot winner from a Publix in Jacksonville, Florida, missed the deadline to claim their prize.

The winning ticket, drawn on Aug. 15, went unclaimed despite warnings from Mega Millions and the Florida Lottery.

Florida law mandates that 80% of unclaimed prize money goes to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund, with the rest going back into the prize pool for future winnings or special promotions.
