DANVILLE, Calif. — More than $300,000 in lottery winnings associated with a MEGA Millions ticket purchased in Danville in April remains unclaimed, state lotto officials said Friday.
The ticket was sold at a Chevron gas station at 145 Hartz Ave. and was one of two tickets sold in the state matching five of six numbers in the April 27 draw, making the ticket worth $312,766.

The other winning ticket was sold in Los Angeles, and that prize has since been claimed, lotto officials said.
Both tickets matched the numbers 5, 47, 2, 46 and 45 and were missing only the MEGA number of 37.
Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prizes.

Lotto officials recommend that winners sign the back of the winning ticket, which should be kept in a safe place until contacting lottery officials or visiting a local lottery district office.
