A ticket purchased at a Circle K in Austin must be claimed by Aug. 1 or the prize will be forfeited.
SAN ANTONIO — A Powerball ticket worth $1 million remains unclaimed just days before it expires, according to the Texas Lottery.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Circle K located at 6107 W. Parmer Lane in Austin for the Feb. 2 Powerball drawing.
The ticket matched all five white ball numbers — 3, 8, 31, 60 and 65 — but did not match the red Powerball number, 4, making it worth a $1 million prize.
The ticket is set to expire Saturday, Aug. 1, if it is not claimed and validated by the deadline.
Lottery officials said ticket holders who choose to claim the prize in person must do so at a Texas Lottery claim center by 5 p.m. Friday, July 31.
The prize also may be claimed by mail. To qualify, the winning ticket and a completed claim form must be postmarked on or before Aug. 1 and mailed to:
Texas Lottery, ATTN: Austin Claim Center, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, TX 78761-6600
Lottery officials said mailed claims may take up to four weeks to process.
Under Texas Lottery rules, a ticket holder forfeits any claim to a draw-game prize after the 180th day following the drawing date. Certain eligible military personnel may qualify for an extended deadline.
If the prize goes unclaimed, the funds will revert to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, according to the Texas Lottery.
