FAIRFIELD, Maine — A lottery ticket worth more than $8 million was sold at a local convenience store.
Maine State Lottery officials said Wednesday night’s winning Megabucks Plus ticket was purchased at the Big Apple in Fairfield. The jackpot was $8,175,000.
No one has come forward yet to claim the prize, which state officials say is among the largest ever in the three-state lottery game.
The Morning Sentinel reports that employees at the Big Apple store on Route 104 speculate the winner is a resident who is not in the habit of checking his or her ticket right away.
The next jackpot, on Saturday, will be $1 million.
congrats to the winner!

ooooh! yay!! my aunt won! or my uncle, cousin, whatever, i’m sure i’m related somehow. i’ll have to get in touch after all these years.
I’m sure that I’m also related somehow. So you and I must be distantly related. Don’t worry about finding the winner. I’ll put in a good word for you when I see them in person.
hopefully this isn’t followed up by a story in a few years explaining how the person is completely broke.
Oh my, the winner will be in the top 1% now….
Everyone elese will want their share even though they didnt win it….
