$1 million Powerball ticket bought in Austin set to expire Saturday

AUSTIN, Texas — A $1 million Powerball ticket purchased in Austin is set to expire Saturday, Aug. 1, and has not yet been claimed, the Texas Lottery said.

The ticket matched all five white ball numbers — 3, 8, 31, 60 and 65 — but not the red Powerball number 4, in the Feb. 2 drawing.

It was purchased at Circle K #2704686, located at 6107 W. Parmer Lane in Austin.

Because Texas Lottery claim centers are closed on weekends, anyone wishing to claim the prize in person must do so by 5 p.m. Friday, July 31.

The Texas Lottery advises players to check their website for any unexpected changes in claim center hours.

The prize may also be claimed by mail. The ticket and a completed claim form must be postmarked no later than Aug. 1 and sent to: Texas Lottery, Attn.: Austin Claim Center, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, TX 78761-6600

Mailed claims may take up to four weeks to process, the Texas Lottery said.

Under Texas law, draw-game prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date. Limited extensions are available for certain eligible military personnel. Unclaimed prizes revert to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature.
