The US Powerball Lottery officials are with an announcement that is not a regular one. This time, instead of announcing a win, the lottery officials are here to announce that prize money is coming to its expiration date.

According to the lottery officials, it is one of the most crucial cases that they have to deal with. This is because the people put their trust and hopes into lottery games to win huge prizes. However, sometimes, the players do not show up to claim their prize money, which is an alarming situation.

Most of the time, the winners show up to claim their prize money within a month’s time. However, in cases like these, the players never make an appearance, which means that their efforts and dedication go to waste.

At the end of the day, the officials proceed with sending the unclaimed prize money over to the charitable causes that it usually donates the money to. Most of the time, the players have no clue about their wins because they do not think that they would ever win such large prize money.

There are high chances that something very similar might have happened to the winner. Despite being given an ample amount of time, no appearance has been made by the winner and the prize remains unclaimed.

The lottery officials have revealed that the particular player is from Arizona. Therefore, the officials have requested the players in Arizona to check all the places where they could have placed their lottery tickets that are still unchecked.

The US Powerball Lottery officials have revealed that the player had purchased the ticket back in May of 2021. The lucky ticket had won prize money worth $1,000,000, playing the game.

While the prize is still up for claiming, there is still a downside to it, which is that the prize money still hasn’t been claimed. The officials are still waiting for the winner and the prize money is about to expire on November 18, 2021.

The officials have revealed that the player had purchased his prize-winning ticket back on the 21st of May, 2021. The player had purchased the ticket from the Circle K Store. The particular store is located at 7140 East Shea Boulevard, Scottsdale. The ticket had been purchased by the player for the draw that was to be held on May 22, 2021.

Out of the total 6 numbers, the lucky ticket managed to match 5 numbers for the player, where the player only missed out on the Powerball.

According to the lottery officials, there are other prizes as well that are still sitting unclaimed. These prizes add up to a total of $1.26 million.
