亚利桑那州有1460万美元的彩票无人认领

“Scratch” that ticket.

“刮”那张彩票。

A potential get-rich-quick tale turned tragic after an anonymous lottery winner forgot to claim their $14.6 million jackpot before the deadline. The colossal cash prize marks the largest unclaimed lotto sum in Arizona history, reports CNN.

一位匿名彩票中奖者忘记在截止日期前申领1460万美元的头奖，一个可能迅速发财的故事变成了悲剧。据美国有线电视新闻网报道，这一巨额奖金是亚利桑那州历史上最大的无人认领彩票金额。

Contestants reportedly had 180 days to sign off on their eye-popping “The Pick” jackpot since the June 5 drawing, according to 12news.com. However, when Dec. 2 came around, no one had shown up at the Arizona Lottery Offices to cash their ticket to riches.

据12news.com报道，自6月5日开奖以来，参赛者有180天的时间来为他们令人瞠目结舌的“抽奖”头奖划上句号。然而，当12月2日到来的时候，还没有人出现在亚利桑那州的彩票办公室来兑现他们的彩票。

“It’s hard to see that not get claimed,” Arizona lottery spokeswoman Jacqueline Keidel Martinez tells NBC News.

亚利桑那州彩票女发言人杰奎琳·凯德尔·马丁内斯告诉NBC新闻：“没人认领这事很少看到。”

A week before the deadline, the Arizona Lottery even posted a tweet with the caption, “What would you do first if you were sitting on that winning ticket for the past 180 days?” “Turn it in,” was the resounding reply.

截止日期前一周，亚利桑那州彩票公司甚至发布了一条微博，标题是“如果你在过去180天坐在中奖彩票上，你会做什么?“把它交上来。”是响亮的回答。

The one silver lining is that the man’s winnings will be redistributed to state services that’ll benefit Arizona’s Navajo youths and abused children, among other worthy parties.

唯一的希望是，这名男子的奖金将重新分配给州政府，这将有利于亚利桑那州的纳瓦霍青年和受虐儿童，以及其他有价值的政党。

Unfortunately, forgetting to answer Lady Luck’s call is an all-too-common phenomenon. According to lotto expert Brett Jacobson, there was $2.89 billion in unclaimed winnings in the year ending June 2017.

不幸的是，忘记接听幸运女神的电话是一个非常普遍的现象。据乐透专家布雷特·雅各布森(Brett Jacobson)称，截至2017年6月的一年，无人认领的中奖金额为28.9亿美元。
