HARTFORD, Conn. -- The dream of becoming a millionaire could be turning into someone's nightmare. Connecticut lottery officials said no one has produced the winning ticket for a $3.5 million jackpot in the Feb. 14, 2006, drawing. The winning ticket expired and is worthless, lottery officials said. However, officials said if someone mailed it in and it was postmarked before the deadline, it would be honored. Lottery officials have also rejected nearly 200 lost ticket claims. Lottery spokeswoman Diane Patterson said the people who had made the claims didn't have such basic facts as where and when the winning ticket was purchased. But there is one winner in the story of the jackpot that turned into a pumpkin. The Coventry Getty Mart in Coventry, which sold the winning ticket, is getting a $10,000 bonus.I just love that bit on how over 200 folks submitted lost ticket requests. lottery

i think that the person won but did not claim the ticket because he/she must of used someone else's money or she was supposed to buy it for the group and got the lucky numbers but did not want to share.
