亞利桑那州有1460萬(wàn)美元的彩票無(wú)人認(rèn)領(lǐng)

“Scratch” that ticket.

“刮”那張彩票。

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.

一位匿名彩票中獎(jiǎng)?wù)咄浽诮刂谷掌谇吧觐I(lǐng)1460萬(wàn)美元的頭獎(jiǎng)，一個(gè)可能迅速發(fā)財(cái)?shù)墓适伦兂闪吮瘎?。?jù)美國(guó)有線電視新聞網(wǎng)報(bào)道，這一巨額獎(jiǎng)金是亞利桑那州歷史上最大的無(wú)人認(rèn)領(lǐng)彩票金額。

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.

據(jù)12news.com報(bào)道，自6月5日開獎(jiǎng)以來(lái)，參賽者有180天的時(shí)間來(lái)為他們令人瞠目結(jié)舌的“抽獎(jiǎng)”頭獎(jiǎng)劃上句號(hào)。然而，當(dāng)12月2日到來(lái)的時(shí)候，還沒(méi)有人出現(xiàn)在亞利桑那州的彩票辦公室來(lái)兌現(xiàn)他們的彩票。

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

亞利桑那州彩票女發(fā)言人杰奎琳·凱德爾·馬丁內(nèi)斯告訴NBC新聞：“沒(méi)人認(rèn)領(lǐng)這事很少看到。”

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，亞利桑那州彩票公司甚至發(fā)布了一條微博，標(biāo)題是“如果你在過(guò)去180天坐在中獎(jiǎng)彩票上，你會(huì)做什么?“把它交上來(lái)。”是響亮的回答。

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，這名男子的獎(jiǎng)金將重新分配給州政府，這將有利于亞利桑那州的納瓦霍青年和受虐兒童，以及其他有價(jià)值的政黨。

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，忘記接聽幸運(yùn)女神的電話是一個(gè)非常普遍的現(xiàn)象。據(jù)樂(lè)透專家布雷特·雅各布森(Brett Jacobson)稱，截至2017年6月的一年，無(wú)人認(rèn)領(lǐng)的中獎(jiǎng)金額為28.9億美元。
