$1 million Texas Powerball prize ticket set to expire this weekend

A person in Texas is at risk of losing $1 million as their winning Powerball ticket is set to expire this Saturday. 

The winning Powerball ticket worth $1 million for the drawing held on Feb. 2 is fast approaching its expiration date. The ticket, matching all five of the white ball numbers drawn (3-8-31-60-65) but not the red Powerball number (4), was purchased at Circle K #2704686, located at 6107 W. Parmer Lane, in Austin. The prize remains unclaimed and the ticket will expire on Saturday, Aug. 1, if not validated by the deadline. 

If choosing to claim the prize in-person, the ticket-holder must do so at a Texas Lottery claim center by 5 p.m. local time on Friday, July 31. Hours of operation at some Texas Lottery claim center locations may unexpectedly change, so Texas Lottery advises those to check texaslottery.com for updates. 

The ticket holder may also claim the prize by mail. The ticket, along with a claim form, must be postmarked on or prior to the Aug. 1 ticket expiration date and should be mailed to: 

A ticket holder forfeits any claim to a prize for a draw game after the expiration of the 180th day following the draw date. The deadline may be extended for certain eligible military personnel. Unclaimed prizes revert to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature. 

A Texas resident recently got $1 million richer with the Texas Lottery. 

A Seguin resident claimed a top prize-winning ticket worth $1 million in the Texas Lottery scratch ticket game 200X The Cash. The ticket was purchased at Circle K #2740130, located at 6330 McArdle Rd., in Corpus Christi. The claimant elected to remain anonymous. 

This was the first of four top prizes worth $1 million to be claimed in this game. 200X The Cash offers more than $115 million in total prizes.
