The Maine State Lottery says the winner of a $1.5 million jackpot who bought their ticket in Aroostook County still has not come forward.
The lottery determined that there was one winner in the drawing on Nov. 12. The winning ticket, according to a news release, was sold at the Cigaret Shopper in Madawaska.
“We hope the winner has realized they won and are seeking financial advice,” said Michael Boardman, deputy director of the Maine Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages & Lottery Operations. “There is no way for us to know until the winner comes forward. We’re looking forward to meeting them and congratulating them on their big win.”
The winner has time to get advice. Winners have one year to collect their winnings, according to Maine State Lottery.
