California Lottery:
The California Lottery is still looking for a lucky Lottery player in the San Fernando Valley who matched all six numbers in the Super Lotto Plus drawing almost five months ago. The good news is that there’s still time for San Fernando Valley residents resolving to become millionaires in 2010 – the winner has another month to collect their $11 million prize. The bad news is that the ticket will expire on January 28, 2010 at 5 p.m. Let’s hope this ticket is claimed soon!

With the Millionaire game’s progressive jackpot increasing $200,000 each week, next week’s Millionaire game contestant will have a chance to win $3.2 million.
