The lucky winning ticket was sold at A1 Quick and Easy on the Boston Post Road in Waterford. The lucky numbers that hit were 4-14-21-22-24-25, and the payout was worth millions.

So far, no winner has come forward to claim the jackpot, but whoever that winner may be has 180 days to claim their money. By the way, the store that sold the winning ticket will also receive some cash. The commission on a ticket like that will pay the proprietor a cool $10,000.
