I wonder if the winner was able to claim the prize? If not, it is quite unfortunate for the winner, maybe he doesn't even know that he already won. Well as for me, I keep my tickets and I make sure to check if my numbers match the winning numbers. Hopefully I will be able to hit the jackpot prize soon

It probably won't matter, but the winner really only has until friday the 23rd.

The lotteries usually don't make a big fuss about unclaimed money. To them, its pure easy money or profit. The more people that fail to cash-in, the better for the lotteries.

I love Rye bread. Many years ago, a colleague from NY would visit his mother there on occasion and bring me back a loaf of NY jewish rye bread. So good. The store versions do not compare.

Yeah, I hope I can have it on Rye too

Im predicting it will take CA at least a year to win a jackpot, maybe 2-3 years. Maybe never.

Well, that sure would taste good on some rye bread there.

Okay, I looked It up, the store Is close to the CT. border and I-95,

but more Importantly It's near a beachfront amusement park.

Picture this, family comes from somewhere to visit the amusement park,

The Dad goes to get their lunch at this place a few blocks away and picks up a lottery ticket while he's there.

The ticket Is In his car, that Is If he still owns It, could be traded In by now, or maybe It was a rental car.

This ticket was forgotten about before he got home.... [ More ]

It's not like it hasn't happened before, someone waiting until the last day to verify their ticket and claim the prize. It could happen again.

If It Is, they're probably from the northern part of the state, seems like that's where the winners come from most of the time.

But why buy their tix. In Rye N.Y. I'm not even sure where that Is.

Anywhere near the Jersey border

Me too, dallascowboyfan, even if this PB 2nd prize winner is from California, New Jersey, or outside of the good 'ole U.S. of A.

At least California is not fretting over this ticket , Powerball began to be sold Statewide in April of this year for the first time.

Maybe the winner expired or more likely threw ticket out by mistake. At this late date doubt it will be found.

Being a small time player most tickets bought for a specific drawing was 6 tickets. Most of the time, just buy one ticket per drawing. They are checked the next date at the state lottery website.

I cringe when seeing lottery players giving their ticket to the store clerk to check for winning numbers. Fortunately NJ has installed ticket readers so players can scan the ticket the... [ More ]

It was not a grand prize winner. The writer should not have included the PB because it was only a match 5 second tier winning ticket, not a match 5 plus PB jackpot winner. The second tier prize is $1 million ($2 million if PowerPlay is purchased for extra $1).

Why is a grand prize powerball ticket only 1 million

Check your pockets, look under your couch, search your car, claim your million dollar grand prize before it's too late.

1-6-7-20-49, Powerball 23? are the million-dollar numbers from the drawing Aug. 25, 2012, but the owner of the winning ticket still remains a mystery. The ticketholder has until August 25 to step forward or forfeit the money to a prize pool for future winners.

Ralph Alfalahi has put up signs on both entrances of his Playland Market, a Rye deli that sold the winning ticke... [ More ]
