Tick-Tock for Two Michigan Lottery Tickets Worth $250,000 Powerball and more

Imagine winning a massive lottery prize, the kind of money that could change your life overnight, only to forget to claim it. That's exactly the scenario for two lucky, and possibly very forgetful, Michigan lottery winners. The clock is ticking as two major Michigan lottery prizes, one of $250,000 from the Powerball and another Lucky for Life prize, are set to expire soon. These unclaimed winning tickets are soon to be nothing more than a distant memory if the winners don't step up and claim their winnings pronto.

Time-Sensitive Winning Tickets

The $250,000 Powerball ticket had its lucky draw on March 14, 2020. The winning ticket matched four white balls and the Powerball, an exciting 5-number combination that is certainly worth celebrating. This valuable piece of paper was purchased from the Huron Plaza Party Store on W. State Street in Cassopolis. As for the Lucky for Life ticket, the winner scored the lottery on February 27, 2020. This ticket was sold at the Speedway gas station located at Warren Rd in Westland. Both winners have a year from the drawing date to claim their prize, otherwise, according to Michigan Lottery rules, the money is forfeited and goes to the state's School Aid Fund.

A Sum Waiting for its Claimant

The unclaimed sums are not a mere couple of hundred dollars. The Powerball winner stands to lose a whopping $250,000 if they do not come forward by the set deadline. And it's not just the Powerball lottery player who may lose out due to forgetfulness or unawareness. The Lucky for Life winner is also at risk of missing out on a hefty sum.

If you happen to be in possession of either of these winning tickets, don't panic! You can claim your prize by contacting the Michigan Lottery Public Relations Division at (517) 373-1237 to schedule an appointment to collect your winnings. Don't let this golden opportunity slip away. Whether it’s $250,000 from the Powerball or the significant Lucky for Life prize, a huge windfall is just waiting for you.
