Time is running out for a $10,000 lottery prize that’s still unclaimed nearly a year after it was won in southwest Iowa. We’re reminding players to double-check their tickets!
Click on the video above to learn all the details about the unclaimed Powerball® prize. The $10,000-winning ticket was purchased in Crescent for the drawing on Sept. 5 of last year. The prize will expire next month -- at 4 p.m. on Sept. 6 to be exact -- if it isn’t claimed by then.
We hope this reminder will jog someone’s memory. So wherever you keep your tickets, get them out and double-check them!
The money from unclaimed prizes in Iowa goes into the lottery’s prize pools for future games and promotions, so it will be used to pay prizes, just not those prizes that have expired. In fiscal year 2016, nearly $1.3 million in lotto prizes expired in Iowa without being claimed.
