Minnesotan who won Powerball sitting on their ticket?

This is weird.. the NEWS TRIBUNE today has an article about someone who won $47 Million of a $94 Million powerball jackpot not claiming their money yet. It's been 3 weeks since the drawing and the moron (MY choice of words) hasn't claimed their portion. WTF? Unless they're already a big millionaire why would you sit on a ticket worth that much?

Hopefully it's just someone who has no clue they won... but that could mean the ticket will never be claimed.

Some of the possibilities are:

Clint Harris, the state lottery’s executive director, is eager to award the Powerball jackpot — the first since his 2004 hiring.

“Maybe they’re waiting because they don’t want to impact their taxes this year,” he said Wednesday. “Maybe someone’s talking to a tax attorney or financial planner. Maybe the ticket is sitting behind a magnet on someone’s refrigerator and they just forgot about it. Or maybe it’s lost. All those possibilities are there.”

I know *I* didn't win nor did I buy any powerball tickets that day.

I've been buying $5 of 'Hot Lotto' myself since it's at something around $14 million(a record high easily) and hasn't been won in weeks. It's supposed to be easier to win because there's not as many states playing... but.. noone's won in a long time
