An unidentified woman has won the $23 (€17,8) million SuperLotto Plus jackpot at the California State Lottery, and she doesn't even know it.

The winner is on the clock, as winners are only allowed 180 days to claim their prize, and it has already been five months since the ticket was purchased.

She was filmed entering Michael’s Market & Liquor store in East Palmdale on May 30. California Lottery officials made the footage public, in an effort to track her down.

On November 26, her prize stands to be turned over to the school system in California, LA Times reports.

However, if she does come forward, she will be sharing her millions with storeowners. Lottery rules state that whatever store sells the winning ticket is awarded 0.5 percent of the prize, in this case $115,000 (€89,000).
