Unclaimed $1M Kentucky lottery ticket to expire in mid-January

PENDLETON, Ky. (WTVQ) — An unclaimed $1 million Kentucky lottery ticket will expire in mid-January, lottery officials said Wednesday.

The ticket was sold on July 19, 2023, at a Henry County Pilot Travel Center at 489 Pendleton Road.

The owner of the unclaimed ticket matched the first five white balls (7-10-11-13-24) earning them the secondary prize of $1 million. The owner failed to match the Powerball (24) during the July 19 drawing.

“It’s rare that someone holding a $1 million Powerball® ticket fails to cash it in,” Kentucky Lottery President Mary Harville said. “The ticket is expiring in less than two weeks; however, the Lottery is not giving up hope that we will find the owner and award them their prize.”

The ticket will expire on Jan. 12 at 5 p.m. if it goes unclaimed.

If the prize is not claimed, the lottery will return the money to Kentucky’s Unclaimed Prize Fund, which lawmakers designated to support the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship.

If this is your ticket, you can claim your prize at the Kentucky Lottery Corporate Office at 1011 W. Main Street in Louisville.
