Urgent Alert as $100,000 Powerball Prize Nears Expiry

With a looming deadline of 5 pm on February 10, the winner is urged to come forward and claim their prize. State lottery officials emphasize treating the ticket as cash once found and recommend signing the back for added security. Lottery President Rose Hudson advised, “It is also a good idea to sign the back of the ticket for security purposes.”

The Louisiana winner matched four white balls with an x2 multiplier, bringing their winnings to $100,000. This serves as a reminder of the various ways to win in Powerball, each corresponding to different combinations of white and red Powerball numbers.

As the clock ticks down, the urgency to check tickets and claim prizes is paramount. Lottery officials stress the importance of timely action as unclaimed prizes often go unnoticed. Players are encouraged to be vigilant and participate responsibly aware of the potential risks associated with gambling.
