Powerball Winners Face Unclaimed Prizes

Several unclaimed lottery tickets are causing concern across multiple states as deadlines approach. In Pennsylvania, a $100,000 Powerball ticket sold in Pittsburgh must be claimed by October 4, 2024, with unclaimed prizes supporting programs for older residents. Similarly, a $50,000 Powerball Double Play ticket purchased in Indiana expired without being claimed, joining two other unclaimed tickets this year. Kentucky Lottery officials are urging a winner from a Kroger store to claim their $50,000 prize within 180 days. Meanwhile, a $100,000 ticket purchased in Massachusetts also faces a deadline of October 2, 2024, highlighting the importance of checking tickets promptly. Reminders from lottery officials emphasize the need for players to verify their tickets against winning numbers to avoid forfeiting potential winnings.
