When someone wins the lottery, it is up to that person to step forward to claim any and all winnings before the allotted time limit. If the time limit expires and no one announces that they have indeed won the prize, that money will go into the state’s unclaimed money vault. This is where it will sit until someone comes forward to properly claim it. To see if you have unclaimed lottery winnings, you only have to conduct a simple search online using the Cash Unclaimed database. Then you can see if any of those tickets  you ever misplaced or forgot to check actually hit and is now just sitting out there somewhere under your name or lottery ticket information.
