Did you buy a lottery ticket and forget about it? Looks like someone did or they’re just holding on to the bittersweet moments before they claim their $1.9 million Powerball ticket that was purchased two months ago.
The golden ticket was purchased at the Century City 76 gas station at 10389 Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles, according to officials from the California State Lottery. The winner has till 5 p.m. on July 16 to claim their prize before it expires, that’s 180 days from the date the winning numbers were drawn or four months from now.
If a winner doesn’t come forward by the expiration date the unclaimed prize money will go toward California public schools.
Regardless if a winner claims their prize, the retailer will receive a bonus of almost $10,000 for selling the ticket.
The winning numbers on the ticket are 15, 27, 23, 36 and 16, missing only the Powerball number 9.
Winning ticket holders are asked to visit one of the nine Lottery District Offices to claim their prize.
Last week a ticket worth a little more than $1 million expired that was sold in a SoCal market on Sept. 13.
