CLIVE, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Lottery officials say little time remains before a $10,000 Powerball prize bought in western Iowa will expire. The lottery issued a reminder Monday that the ticket bought at a Casey’s store in Crescent must be turned in by 4 p.m. Sept. 6 at a lottery office or the prize will go unclaimed. The ticket was purchased before a Sept. 5, 2015, drawing and matched four of the first five numbers and the Powerball.
The prize is among several large winnings, ranging from $9,000 to $2 million, that are unclaimed in Iowa. In Iowa, prizes that aren’t claimed go into the lottery’s prize pool for futures games and promotions.
