TL;DR

The $36 million Mega Millions jackpot won with a ticket from a Publix in Jacksonville, Florida, expired after the winner failed to claim it before the deadline. The unclaimed prize money will now be transferred to the Educational Enhancement Trust Fund as required by Florida law, with the remaining 20 percent returned to the prize pool for future prizes or special promotions. The ongoing Mega Millions jackpot is currently at $457 million and will conduct its next drawing for that potential windfall late Friday evening.
