3 Maryland Powerball Winners Are Missing: MD Lottery

BALTIMORE, MD — The Maryland Lottery is looking for three Powerball winners who have $50,000 waiting for them at the agency's headquarters; three tickets sold in August have gone unclaimed, and officials say each was worth a $50,000 prize. The winning tickets were sold in Catonsville, Frederick and Glen Burnie over the summer, and if unclaimed in the coming weeks, lottery officials say the winners' luck will run out.

From the day of the drawing, players have 182 days to claim their prizes, according to Maryland Lottery rules.

Three Powerball winners from August must claim their winnings in the next few weeks or their prize money will be put back into the lotto pot toward other contests.

Here is information about the winning tickets:

• Aug. 5 drawing: The ticket was sold at the Glen Burnie Mobile at 7200 Ritchie Highway. The winning numbers are 11, 21, 28, 33, 45 with Power Ball 11. The prize has to be redeemed by Friday, Feb. 2.
• Aug. 12 drawing: The ticket was sold at Wegmans in Frederick, 7830 Wormans Mill Road. Winning numbers are 20, 24, 26, 35 and 49 with Power Ball 19. It must be redeemed by Friday, Feb. 9.
• Aug. 19 drawing: The ticket was sold in Catonsville Giant, 6223 Baltimore National Pike. Winning numbers are 17, 19, 39, 43, 68 with Power Ball 13. The ticket must be claimed by Friday, Feb. 16.

Winners must claim their prizes in person at the Maryland Lottery headquarters at 1800 Washington Boulevard in Baltimore.

They are required to provide photo ID and proof of Social Security number; instructions on redeeming the prize are here, including documents winners are required to present.

If the money goes unclaimed, the Maryland Lottery must use it in various second-chance contests.
