POWERBALL players have been urged to dig through drawers, glove boxes and coat pockets to check any slips for a ticket worth $50,000.
The winning ticket must be claimed by mid-June – or the prize will be gone for good.
AlamyA Powerball lottery ticket worth $50k has been unclaimed for the past month[/caption]The Powerball prize was won at a draw held in Louisiana in mid-December.
It remains unclaimed as of May 17, 2025.
The ticket matched four white-ball numbers (09, 30, 33, 57, 61) and the Powerball (17), with a Power Play multiplier of 2 times.
If the winner does not come forward to claim the prize by June 14, 2025, it will be forfeited.
Prizes expire 180 days after the drawing date, according to the Louisiana Lottery’s website.
If unclaimed, the money goes into the Lottery’s unclaimed prize fund, where it’s used to boost future games and promotions, ultimately benefiting players across the state.
To claim the prize, the winner must bring the original ticket to one of the Louisiana Lottery’s regional offices or the headquarters in Baton Rouge before the expiration date.
Powerball is an American lottery game held in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands,
It is overseen by the Multi-State Lottery Association – which runs other large jackpot games lie the Mega Millions.
Players pick five “white balls” from a pool of 69 and one “Powerball” from a pool of 26 – a combination that makes every jackpot win a rarity.
This amounts to jackpot odds of 1 in 292,201,338 per play.
But Powerball is not the only game with unclaimed prizes.
A Mega Millions ticket from a draw held in Louisiana in December last year also remains unclaimed.
That ticket is worth $40,000 and expires on June 15.
Another December lotto winner – this time from Arizona – has yet to come forward.
Their ticket is worth $10,000 and must be claimed by June 15.
Another $10,000 ticket sold in Colorado for the December draw remains unclaimed – it expires on June 22.
From another December draw in Colorado, a ticket worth $30,000 has not been claimed – it expires on June 25.
The odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are one in 290.4 million.
