"The employee said the man didn't want to claim the prize yet and left the store, saying he will claim the ticket with California Lottery," NBC reported.
Lottery officials said if no one hit the jackpot Friday night, it will increase to $1.6 billion Tuesday. Although you won't be as rich as Amazon's Jeff Bezos if you hit the jackpot, you could have more dough than Taylor Swift. Fantasize about the good life here.
