Ipsissimus Magus Won the Powerball Jackpot But Failed to Claim Prize

One of three of the Powerball big winners from this week failed to come forward. Ipsissimus Magus, local California resident, bought the winning ticket at a local liquor store a day or so before the drawing, according to the CA Lottery Commission.

Magus's $213 million dollar share of the $640 million will be split evenly between the other two winners, James Longdell of Denver, CO and Desmond Briggs of Tempe, AZ, netting them each a cool $319 million each. The owner of the liquor store who sold the ticket, Frank Yousef, also will not recover any of the winnings.

Ipsissimus Magus, if you're reading this, you may want to call a relative and let them know you're still alive.
