Two lottery tickets sporting identical numbers claimed a near $400 million jackpot from Mega Millions in December last year, with both tickets purchased in California. While the first half of the $394 million jackpot from December 8, 2023, had already been claimed, the California Lottery announced last week that unless the second half of the jackpot is claimed, the winnings will be diverted to public schools across the state.
The incredibly fortunate player, Faramarz Lahijani, previously claimed $197.5 million, representing his share of the estimated $394 million jackpot from December 8, 2023. Lahijani now contends that he deserves the other half of the jackpot, asserting that he holds the second winning ticket. According to a report by People, Lahijani has stuck to using the same numbers for three decades: 21, 26, 53, 66, 70, along with the Mega number 13. His lawsuit was submitted to the Los Angeles Superior Court last Friday, just in time before the claim deadline of December 8, 2024. The numbers, he claims, were chosen by his children long ago.
