$1 million Powerball ticket sold in El Paso remains unclaimed as July 23 deadline nears

EL PASO, Texas — A $1 million Powerball ticket purchased in El Paso remains unclaimed as the July 23 deadline nears, according to the Texas Lottery.

The Powerball ticket was purchased at Big Savers Market, located at 3630 Alameda Avenue.

The ticket matched all five numbers drawn during the Jan. 25 drawing — 2-9-17-36-67 — but not the Powerball number 18.

“We encourage our Powerball players to take another look at their tickets, check the numbers again and if your numbers match, sign the back of the ticket and contact us to request an appointment to claim your prize,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery.

A ticket holder forfeits any claim to a prize for a draw game after the expiration of the 180th day following the draw date, according to the Texas Lottery. That deadline may be extended for a period of time for certain eligible military personnel.

Unclaimed prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature.
