Illinois lottery officials are searching for a mystery millionaire who has just one month left to come forward.
The winner of a $4 million prize sold at a Chicago gas station for the Feb. 23, 2018 Mega Millions drawing has just 30 days to claim their prize.
"If you think you bought a ticket for this drawing, you may want to check your pockets, behind the sofa or wherever you may have placed a winning lottery ticket," the Illinois Lottery said in a statement.
The winning Mega Millions Megaplier Quick Pick ticket was purchased at the BP located at 1955 W. Cermak Rd. It matched all five numbers - 07-11-13-19-58 to win a $1 million prize in the drawing. The Megaplier number drawn was 04, multiplying that prize for a total of $4 million.
The unclaimed ticket is one of four seven-figure Illinois Lottery prizes currently unclaimed - totaling $8.3 million, officials said.
The three other unclaimed prizes include:
