Unclaimed $50,000 Powerball Prize Has 1 Month Until It’s Gone!

Somebody out there could be the winner of a $50,000 Powerball® prize and not know it!

We’re trying to spread the word because that prize won in Bettendorf now is down to 1 month until it expiration date.

Here’s what you need to know about that unclaimed prize:

• The winning ticket was purchased in Bettendorf at the Kwik Star at 2283 53rd Ave.
• The ticket won a $50,000 prize in the July 29 Powerball drawing.
• The winning numbers in that night’s drawing were: 11-27-30-33-44 and Powerball 16.
• The ticket matched 4 of the 5 white balls and the Powerball.
• The prize will expire on Jan. 27 if it isn’t claimed in time.

When a prize goes unclaimed, we really feel for the winner. Imagine leaving all that money on the table! That’s why we’re trying to jog somebody’s memory. If you know anyone who frequents that Kwik Star in Bettendorf, make sure they see this!

If you’re the winner and you’re reading this, bring that ticket to any Iowa Lottery office before the deadline: Cedar Rapids, Clive, Mason City or Storm Lake. Prize-claim hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday, with lottery offices closed on state holidays.
