The Mega Millions ticket was sold Friday at a convenience store near Southern Avenue and Dobson Road.
Winning tickets have 180 days to be turned in from the date of the drawing.
The numbers drawn were 21, 22, 39, 59, 68 and the Gold Mega Ball was 2; the Megaplier also was 2.
According to the Arizona Lottery website, there was over $170,000 in other unclaimed prizes.

The money then is distributed among a variety of programs.
