A winning Powerball ticket, sold in west Georgia this past summer, expired Monday with no verified claim for the $77M dollar jackpot. A Georgia Lottery spokeswoman said Tuesday it was "the largest unclaimed ticket in Georgia" since the lottery began in 1993. The winning ticket was sold June 29 at the Pilot Travel Center truck stop along I-20 in Tallapoosa.
Players have 180 days to claim their prize. The unclaimed money will be returned proportionately to each of the 32 participating states and the District of Columbia. In Georgia, unclaimed prize money goes back into the prize pool for future games and for special prize promotions, and is ultimately paid out to players, according to a Georgia Lottery official.
