Was it you?

Two Mega Millions jackpot tickets purchased in San Francisco and Hollywood are set to expire Sept. 26, leaving two $227,955 prizes unclaimed.

The tickets were sold at these two locations:

• Hollywood Bazaar – 6701 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028
• Fox Liquors – 570 Larkin St., San Francisco, CA 94109

The lottery numbers are:

46, 23, 38, 4 and 2 (missing the Mega number of 23

The tickets are from a record-setting $656 million March 30 draw, in which 29 Californians matched five out of six numbers to win $227,955 each. Twenty-seven have come forward to claim their prize, leaving only two tickets missing.

The two winners have until close of business day Sept. 26 to come forward before the funds are diverted to California schools.

Incredibly, stories of lost winning lotto tickets are quite common.

In Georgia, the clock ran out on a ticket worth $77 million.

Iowa lottery officials went on a year-long hunt for the owner of a $16.5 million dollar lotto ticket purchased in 2010. It was turned in two hours before the closing deadline.

In 2001, a young couple in England missed out on a £3 million jackpot (approximately $4,764,300 USD) after they had misplaced their winning ticket.
