A $1 million Washington Lottery ticket was purchased in Oak Harbor for the June 2 Mega Millions game.

The person who bought the winning ticket still remains a mystery, but that’s not unusual, according to Jana Jones, legal counsel with the Washington Lottery.

“It’s not uncommon at all when there’s a large prize for somebody to soak it in and meet with a financial planner,” Jones said.

The winner matched all five numbers in the game to win $1 million, but didn’t match the Mega Ball.

The winning numbers were 2, 9, 11, 22 and 23.

Citing security reasons, lottery officials don’t reveal the outlet where it was purchased from until the prize is claimed, Jones said.

The winner has until Nov. 29 to claim the $1 million. Lottery officials withhold 25 percent of the amount in accordance with state law and the IRS tax code, Jones said.

The balance is taxed at the end of the year as income, she said.

Over the past year, Washington Lottery paid out about $374 million in prize money through its various games, Jones said. About 3 percent — or $11.4 million — went unclaimed.

Jones said that a Lotto prize of $6 million went unclaimed several years ago and she remembers a $2.1 million unclaimed Lotto ticket more recently.

“It’s real important for people to check their tickets,” she said.

The odds of winning $1 million in the Mega Millions game are one in 18.5 million.

In 2013, retired construction worker Jim Sebastian of Coupeville won $440,000 playing the Hit 5 game.

Sebastian bought his ticket at Coupeville Country Store.
