A ticket purchased at a Circle K in Austin must be claimed by Aug. 1 or the prize will be forfeited.<\/p>\n
SAN ANTONIO \u2014 A Powerball ticket worth $1 million remains unclaimed just days before it expires, according to the Texas Lottery.<\/p>\n
The winning ticket was purchased at a Circle K located at 6107 W. Parmer Lane in Austin for the Feb. 2 Powerball drawing.<\/p>\n
The ticket matched all five white ball numbers \u2014 3, 8, 31, 60 and 65 \u2014 but did not match the red Powerball number, 4, making it worth a $1 million prize.<\/p>\n
The ticket is set to expire Saturday, Aug. 1, if it is not claimed and validated by the deadline.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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:<\/p>\n
Texas Lottery, ATTN: Austin Claim Center, P.O. Box 16600, Austin, TX 78761-6600<\/p>\n
Lottery officials said mailed claims may take up to four weeks to process.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
If the prize goes unclaimed, the funds will revert to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature, according to the Texas Lottery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A ticket purchased at a Circle K in Austin must be claimed by Aug. 1 or the prize…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-388371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
