In fact you tout the fact you had a winner at the very track w/out giving names... ask the customer if they mind announcing they have had a big winner. Surely Harrah's is accustomed to this strategy. I have a diff. mindset about tracks and other betting services on horse races, too much of a Vegas mentality possibly. But that seems to work awfully well. Sounds like they let a customer go home thinkin he was screwed.
So, winning ticket money not claimed? Where does that go? In Louisiana. What is the rule?

In my backward state's general fund. You got me to look it up. I'm not surprised it goes to the general fund, that's our politicians happy fund, lots' of taxes go there too. Hmm guess I'm not too happy with our legislative session this year. Much ado about cockfighting, raising taxes but nothing about how the LRA screwed many of the citizens that were flooded.
Here's the link to the LSRC
http://horseracing.la.gov/index.html it's around pages 150 ish.
I didn't see where it said they don't have to pay, but it says something about having to transmit to the host track. I'm glad Harrah's decided to pay him. Good for Harrah's.
Oh and really nice for the guy !
