Thursday was the last day to redeem it.
Avid lottery players in Norwalk were surprised to hear about the mishap.
“It is possible that maybe they lost the ticket and did not even realize it. A lot of people buy their tickets and put them in the bag, and they don t even realize that they won the lottery, Arturo Vázquez, who plays the lottery, said.
Sergio Vázquez, who won a $100,000 prize in 2013, says he made sure the ticket was secure.

The time limit for redeeming the winning $26 million California Lottery Super Lotto Plus ticket has expired, and although there are rumors that a Norwalk woman bought the ticket, no one showed up to claim the prize.
Employees at the AM/PM gas station on East Imperial Highway in Norwalk say a local woman bought the ticket from their store but was unable to turn it in because she left it in her pants and sent it through the washing machine.
