MIDDLETOWN, PENNSYLVANIA (BNO NEWS) – A Pennsylvania winning lottery ticket has yet to be presented, the Pennsylvania Lottery said Monday.

The Pennsylvania Lottery Powerball warned that the ticket worth $50,000 from the May 30, 2009 drawing, which was sold at Stop-N-Go Mini Market, New Holland Ave., Lancaster, will be expiring in less than two weeks – one year from the date of the drawing.

“The Lottery never likes to see a prize expire, so we’re hoping the winning ticket-holder comes forward,” said Lottery Executive Director Ed Trees. “Anyone who bought a Powerball ticket from the Stop-N-Go Mini Market in Lancaster for the May 2009 drawing should check their ticket because this $50,000 prize will expire in less than two weeks.”

The holder is encouraged to sign the back of the ticket and contact the Lottery as soon as possible, as the prize will expire on Sunday, May 30, but the last day to file a claim will be on Friday, May 28.

The soon-to-expire Powerball ticket matched four of five drawn numbers, 01-23-42-51-59, the Powerball, 20, and purchased Power Play for a $50,000 prize, less 25 percent federal withholding.

Unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the Lottery Fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians.
