ATLANTA — Could someone be out $197 million? Someone bought a winning Mega Millions ticket on Dec. 8 last year and has yet to claim the prize.

The winning ticket was sold at a Chevron gas station in Southern California and Saturday is the last day that it can be turned in to get the money.

TRENDING STORIES:

The winner has to claim the prize in person at the California Lottery Office or mail a claim form postmarked by Dec. 7.

If the prize goes unclaimed, then the winning jackpot will go towards funding public education in California, the state’s lottery office confirmed.

You can watch the Mega Millions drawings LIVE from the Channel 2 TV studios every Tuesday and Friday night at 11 p.m. right before WSB Tonight.
