If you’re in California and have an unclaimed lottery ticket lying around from December 2023, you might be in some serious luck, but you'll have to act quickly. A ticket worth nearly $200 million is set to expire in just two days.

On Dec. 8, 2023, two tickets were sold at the Encino Chevron located at 18081 Ventura Boulevard, approximately 20 minutes northwest of downtown Los Angeles, each matching the numbers drawn for the $395 million jackpot. Since both tickets bore the winning numbers, the owners would split the prize.
