“Scratch” that ticket.

“刮”那張彩票。

A potential get-rich-quick tale turned tragic after an anonymous lottery winner forgot to claim their $14.6 million jackpot before the deadline. The colossal cash prize marks the largest unclaimed lotto sum in Arizona history, reports CNN.

一位匿名彩票中獎?wù)咄浽诮刂谷掌谇吧觐I(lǐng)1460萬美元的頭獎，一個可能迅速發(fā)財?shù)墓适伦兂闪吮瘎?。?jù)美國有線電視新聞網(wǎng)報道，這一巨額獎金是亞利桑那州歷史上最大的無人認(rèn)領(lǐng)彩票金額。

Contestants reportedly had 180 days to sign off on their eye-popping “The Pick” jackpot since the June 5 drawing, according to 12news.com. However, when Dec. 2 came around, no one had shown up at the Arizona Lottery Offices to cash their ticket to riches.

據(jù)12news.com報道，自6月5日開獎以來，參賽者有180天的時間來為他們令人瞠目結(jié)舌的“抽獎”頭獎劃上句號。然而，當(dāng)12月2日到來的時候，還沒有人出現(xiàn)在亞利桑那州的彩票辦公室來兌現(xiàn)他們的彩票。

“It’s hard to see that not get claimed,” Arizona lottery spokeswoman Jacqueline Keidel Martinez tells NBC News.

亞利桑那州彩票女發(fā)言人杰奎琳·凱德爾·馬丁內(nèi)斯告訴NBC新聞：“沒人認(rèn)領(lǐng)這事很少看到。”

A week before the deadline, the Arizona Lottery even posted a tweet with the caption, “What would you do first if you were sitting on that winning ticket for the past 180 days?” “Turn it in,” was the resounding reply.

截止日期前一周，亞利桑那州彩票公司甚至發(fā)布了一條微博，標(biāo)題是“如果你在過去180天坐在中獎彩票上，你會做什么?“把它交上來。”是響亮的回答。

The one silver lining is that the man’s winnings will be redistributed to state services that’ll benefit Arizona’s Navajo youths and abused children, among other worthy parties.

唯一的希望是，這名男子的獎金將重新分配給州政府，這將有利于亞利桑那州的納瓦霍青年和受虐兒童，以及其他有價值的政黨。

Unfortunately, forgetting to answer Lady Luck’s call is an all-too-common phenomenon. According to lotto expert Brett Jacobson, there was $2.89 billion in unclaimed winnings in the year ending June 2017.

不幸的是，忘記接聽幸運女神的電話是一個非常普遍的現(xiàn)象。據(jù)樂透專家布雷特·雅各布森(Brett Jacobson)稱，截至2017年6月的一年，無人認(rèn)領(lǐng)的中獎金額為28.9億美元。
