The Illinois Lottery is urging players to check their tickets as the deadline approaches to claim a $200,000 winning Powerball ticket purchased nearly a year ago in Dolton, Illinois. The ticket will expire in two weeks if not claimed. The winning ticket was purchased for the November 30, 2024 Powerball drawing at the Citgo gas station, located at 44 E. Sibley Boulevard in Dolton, a suburb just south of Chicago. The Illinois Lottery is encouraging anyone who bought a Powerball ticket for that drawing to search high and low for the missing winning ticket. The deadline to claim the $200,000 prize is quickly approaching. This ticket is one of three Powerball prizes currently unclaimed in Illinois that will expire soon. A full list of unclaimed prizes can be found on the Illinois Lottery’s website. Winners have one year from the draw date to claim their prize. The Illinois Lottery encourages the ticket holder to sign the back of their winning ticket immediately and store it in a safe place until they are ready to claim their prize. Illinois Lottery tickets can be purchased in-store, online, or on the Illinois Lottery app. For more information or to buy tickets online, please visit IllinoisLottery.com.
