Big Powerball Prize Unclaimed in Southwest Kansas

Big Powerball prize unclaimed in SW Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – A million-dollar Powerball prize on a ticket sold in southwest Kansas remains unclaimed after nearly a year.

The Kansas Lottery said Tuesday the ticket matched the first five numbers but not the Powerball in the drawing of Jan. 26, 2013. Those numbers were 3-22-26-41-49, Powerball 18.

Holders of winning tickets have 365 days to come forward. If the prize isn’t claimed, the Lottery retains the jackpot money to be used in future prizes.

The Lottery says the $1 million ticket was sold in its 24-county southwest Kansas region. By policy, the agency doesn’t reveal the store where a winning ticket was sold until the prize is claimed.
