$1.4 million Powerball ticket is about to expire. CA player has days to claim it
A Powerball player in California only has days to claim a near $1.4 million prize.
The ticket is set to expire Monday, June 16, the California Lottery said in a June 12 news release.
Someone bought the winning ticket for the Dec. 18 drawing, and they matched five out of six numbers, McClatchy News reported from lottery officials.
The winning numbers were 6, 15, 18, 33, 49, with a Powerball of 7, the lottery said. The Power Play was 2x.
The ticket was sold at an ARCO gas station at 4224 Marconi Ave. in Arden-Arcade.
If no one claims the $1,391,550 prize, lottery officials said the money will be given to schools in California.
Lottery players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize.
Arden-Arcade is in the Sacramento area.
