Deadline Looming on $1 Million Powerball Ticket

ROCKY HILL, CT — The clock is ticking on an unclaimed $1 million lottery prize that is set to expire on July 5.

The ticket was purchased at the Super Stop & Shop in the Kensington section of Berlin for the Jan. 6 Powerball drawing. The player didn’t win the jackpot, but the ticket matched the first five numbers drawn for a $1 million payout.

"It’s heartbreaking ... somebody purchased a Powerball ticket in hopes of winning the multi-million dollar jackpot," Connecticut Lottery Officials said in a statement released Monday. "That person has yet to claim the prize and the ticket expires in three days. Check your tickets."

The winning Powerball numbers drawn on Jan. 6 were 12 - 29 - 30 - 33 - 61 and the Powerball number was 26.

The winner can claim the prize, on or before July 5 at a CT Lottery retailer or Lottery Headquarters, where the retailer or the Lottery will validate the ticket.

CT Lottery Headquarters will be closed on July 4.
