A Mega Millions ticket sold in Great Neck Tuesday earned the $1 million prize, but the person who picked it has yet to claim the money.

Carolyn Hapeman, spokesperson for the New York Lottery, said Monday no person had claimed the prize.

Hapeman said the person who drew the numbers has a year from the date of the drawing, June 2, to claim the prize.

According to the New York Lottery’s website, a ticket sold at New Lime Lite deli, located at 170 Middle Neck Road, matched five out of six numbers. A ticket drawn in Illinois matched all six winning numbers — 2, 9, 11, 22, 23 and the Mega ball number of 12 — earning the $260 million Mega Millions jackpot.

A second New York ticket — in Williamsville, a village near Buffalo — matched five numbers as well for a $1 million prize, according to the New York Lottery.

Some 14 tickets also matched five numbers.

Other winning tickets were drawn in California, Georgia, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington, according to the lottery’s website.
