Lottery officials said the ticket must be claimed by Dec. 21, 2026. The claim can be filed by mail or at a lottery office.
“By law, unclaimed, expired lottery prizes remain in the Lottery Fund and are used to support programs benefiting older Pennsylvanians,” the lottery said in a statement. “Although some lotteries give players only 90 or 180 days to claim a prize, Pennsylvania Lottery Draw Game prizes may be claimed on a business day up to one year from the drawing date.”
