Powerball lottery ticket expiresA $200,000 winning Powerball lottery ticket sold in New Mexico expired today, without anyone stepping forward to rightfully claim the prize. That is not to say that the New Mexico Lottery did not hear from several people claiming to be holding the winning ticket. The calls received by lottery headquarters included one person who said she was on her way. New Mexico Lottery officials explained that this type of fraudulent claim is the key reason that most U.S. lotteries won't confirm that someone has come forward until the ticket has actually been verified. The New Mexico Lottery claim center closed for the weekend at 4:30 without anyone having claimed the second prize Powerball ticket from December 10. Both the Lottery claim center and many retailers across the state reported that the attention to this unclaimed prize was an incentive for players to bring in tickets from Powerball, Roadrunner Cash and other games, having them scanned and checked. Unclaimed prizes are returned to the prize pool for future New Mexico Lottery games. Saturday evening's Powerball jackpot is up to $62 million. Lottery Post Staff We'd love to see your comments here!

I have the winning ticket, I just could not part with it for only $200,000. Never saw a ticket with all the numbers like that match before, so I got it laminated. | | |

Whatever else Rip is, he is N-O-T stupid! Only stupid people do stupid things. Some times stupid people control their stupidity, but eventually it comes out by their doing something stupid or saying something stupid. No matter how much you want to make it politically correct, stupid is stupid; not claiming $200,000 is S-T-U-P-I-D ! A dead person has more inteligence then the stupid person who bought that ticket!

I NEVER meant to infer YOU were calling Rip stupid. What I said was, not claiming $200,000 IS stupid, and Rip is NOT stupid. He would claim the money. Perhaps I should have seperated the positions better.

It is quite possible that the person died before claiming the ticket. I read at this web site site that a woman was hit by a car within hours of claiming her million dollar prize (I think). Maybe the holder of this ticket never got the opportunity to claim it. Anyway, more money to the pot. | | |
