Clock Ticking on Unclaimed Seven-Figure Lottery Winner

ROCKY HILL, CT — There is a month remaining for the winner of a seven-figure Connecticut Lottery prize to come forward and claim it.

That's right, nearly five months ago, somebody purchased a ticket for the May 2 Powerball drawing at Georgetown Shell in Wilton. That ticket matched the first five numbers drawn and drew a $1 million prize, lottery officials said Friday.

That ticket will expire in 31 days, or on Oct. 29, lottery officials said.

The winning Powerball numbers for May 2, 2018 were 5 - 14 - 31 - 40 - 50 with a Powerball of 6.

The winner can claim the prize, on or before October 29, by going to a CT Lottery retailer or CT Lottery Headquarters in Rocky Hill, where the retailer or the Lottery will validate the winning ticket through an official game terminal.

All draw game tickets expire 180 calendar days from the draw date.
