POWERBALL players have been urged to check their slips as a $50,000 prize still has not yet been claimed.
The ticket dates back to a draw that took place in March 2024, and the amount is still up for grabs.
GettyA Powerball ticket worth $50,000 has not yet been cashed in[/caption]Minnesota lotto bosses revealed the slip was bought at a Super One Foods outlet in Baxter – around 130 miles from Minneapolis, according to the state lottery.
The ticket is worth $50,000 meaning it matched four numbers and the Powerball.
A $50,000 sum is the third largest amount a Powerball player can win without forking out an extra dollar on the Power Play.
The player managed to defy the odds of one in around 913,000 to land the prize.
And they were only one number away from winning the jackpot prize at the time.
Following the draw on March 23, the prize rolled over to a whopping $800 million.
In Minnesota, lotto players have one year from the date of the draw to come forward.
This means that the Powerball player will only have weeks remaining before the prize expires for good.
Officials reveal that prizes up to and including $50,000 should be claimed by mail.
But lotto chiefs have recommended tips on what players should do before coming forward.
They recommend that players use registered mail when sending their tickets.
And, they should keep a copy of the front and back.
Lotto players who scoop more than $50,000 must claim their fortune in person.
They will receive a check when they come forward and claim their prize.
