Time's Running Out: $2.6 Million Powerball Ticket in California Set to Expire Soon

While millions of people vie for tonight’s giant Powerball jackpot, the California Lottery wants to get the word out about a multimillion-dollar winning Powerball ticket that’s about to expire!

One ticket sold in California for the July 8th Powerball draw matched five correct numbers, earning a $2.6 million prize.

That ticket came from the Quik Stop at 4707 Quail Lakes Drive in Stockton. The ticket’s winning numbers were 24, 7, 32, 23, and 43, missing just the Powerball 18.

The ticket will expire on January 4, 2024. Anyone hanging onto it has several options for how to claim their prize by this Thursday.

Any Powerball prizes outside the jackpot must be claimed within 180 days from the draw in California.

Jackpot winners have a full year to come forward.

Any unclaimed prize money in California becomes additional funding for public education.

More than $1 billion in prize funds have gone unclaimed in California since the Lottery began nearly 40 years ago.
