POWERBALL players have been urged to double check their tickets as two prizes worth $50,000 each have still not been claimed.
Lotto chiefs have warned that the tickets will become worthless if players do nothing.
Lottery bosses have warned two tickets are on the verge of expiryGettyThe two tickets were sold in Missouri and bought at outlets in Belton and Blue Springs.
One player bought their slip from a Price Chopper location, while the other purchased their ticket from a Speedway store, per KCTV-TV.
Missouri lotto chiefs revealed the tickets were sold on the same day – September 30 last year.
And, they will expire on March 29.
Lotto officials revealed the tickets matched four numbers and the Powerball on that draw.
Players must defy odds of one in around 913,000 to land the second highest non-jackpot prize.
And, both gamblers were only one number away from landing the grand prize.
On September 30, the prize stood at $258 million – with an estimated cash value of $129.5 million.
No player won the grand prize on that occasion.
Gamblers have been warned that the money will be added to a pot that’s used to improve education in the state if they don’t come forward.
The next Powerball draw takes place on Wednesday and the cash pot stands at a whopping $416 million.
It has an estimated cash value of $194.1 million.
No players came up trumps and won the jackpot on Monday.
