LANSING, Mich.  —  A $1 million Mega Millions ticket sold at the CVS Pharmacy at 28th Street and Eastern expired Wednesday.

The million-dollar winner was sold on August 5, 2014 and the lucky ticket holder had until 4:45 p.m. Wednesday to go to lottery headquarters in Lansing to claim the prize.

The $1 million now goes to the state School Aid Fund.  Mega Millions tickets are valid for one year from the drawing date.

The ticket matched the first five numbers drawn that day: 25-28-36-45-53.  Whoever has the ticket, should contact the Michigan Lottery Public Relations Division at (517) 323-1737.

This is the first major prize to go unclaimed in 2015.  In 2014, five major prizes went unclaimed, totaling over $1 million.
