Arkansas Powerball players should double-check their tickets after a $1 million victory went unclaimed.
Unclaimed Jackpot Alert
State lottery officials stated the winning ticket was obtained at Little Rock Kroger. Five white balls were matched, but the Powerball was missing, hence the prize went unclaimed. The draw winning numbers were 4, 31, 34, 38, and 61, with a Powerball of 13 and a multiplier of two.
Eric Hagler, Arkansas Scholarship Lottery executive director, phoned all Powerball ticket buyers at Kroger on N. Polk to check their tickets. The winner has roughly 170 days to claim the prize as the ticket was bought before the January 6 draw. One in 11.7 million Powerball players matches five numbers. For any prize, winners must overcome the odds of one in 24.87 and the jackpot is one in 292.2 million.
Kentucky lottery officials are scrambling to locate a $1 million ticket winner before January 12. For Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 15, state lottery offices will be closed, increasing urgency.
