After the holiday season, it’s time to check those drawers for any misplaced lotto tickets, as there is an unclaimed $2 million Powerball jackpot set to expire in the new year. The lucky winner struck gold in November but has yet to claim the prize, which was drawn on November 25, 2023. The ticket was purchased at a Liquor store in Clinton, Iowa, near the Illinois border.

The winning ticket numbers to look for are 1, 27, 30, 49, 62, and a Powerball 20. Players have until May 23, 2024, to turn in their winning tickets and cash in the $2 million reward.

For those unfamiliar with playing Powerball, the game is simple. Players need to match the white and red balls to win different prize sums, with various combinations offering different payouts. After purchasing a $2 ticket, players choose five numbers from 1 to 69 for the white balls and a number from 1 to 26 for the red Powerball. Alternatively, players can have the US lottery randomly generate their numbers.

Winning combinations include matching all five white balls and the red Powerball for the grand prize, or a five white ball match earning $1 million. Matching four white balls with the Powerball clinches $50,000, while four white balls or three white balls and a Powerball earns $100. Jackpot winners can choose between gradual annuity payments or a lump-sum option, but they must make their selection within two months of claiming their prize.

It’s important to note that playing any lottery game comes with inherent risk. If you or someone you know has gambling addiction tendencies, seek help from the National Gambling Hotline at 1-800-522-4700 or visit the National Council on Problem Gambling.
