The Powerball website lists a table showing all unclaimed Powerball jackpots which are still waiting to be claimed.
And one lucky winner is sitting on a massive $50,000 after drawing a lucky Match 4 plus Powerball ticket.
It was drawn on February earlier this year – and nearly half a year on the winner has still not claimed their money.
The lucky ticket was purchased in Colorado.
Specifically, the player hit the jackpot after buying the slip in a King Soopers store.
They are sitting on a gargantuan ticket which will reward tens of thousands dollars once cashed in.
And their last date to claim the jaw-dropping prize is soon approaching.
The punter has less than a month to claim the eyewatering sum of cash.
In 27 days exactly, the money will turn to dust and the winner will have lost all their hard earned cash.
The last date to claim the $50,000 prize is August 9, 2025.
On the Powerball website it explains the table displaying all the previous unclaimed jackpots.
It also details what happens if the rewards are never cashed in.
The site reads: “The table above shows the major unclaimed Powerball prizes, and it has happened in the past that jackpots have not been paid out because the winners have not come forward in time.
“If a grand prize goes unclaimed, the money is returned to each participating state in line with how much they generated during that particular jackpot run.”
The site continues: “Unclaimed Powerball prizes in other categories are kept by the relevant lottery jurisdiction, and redistributed according to state rules.
“In many states, this money is used to support good causes.”
It comes as lottery officials continue to call for a lucky Powerball player to come forward – so they can claim their huge $250,000 prize before it expires.
The anonymous winner is sitting on a massive jackpot – which is set to become “worthless” in just a few months.
The jaw-dropping prize was won by a lucky punter after the draw earlier this month on July 7.
Their prize level is Match 4 plus Powerball – and the ticket was bought with Power Play.
