$1 Million Winning Powerball Ticket Remains Unclaimed

A $1 million Powerball ticket sold at a gas station in Maryland remains unclaimed. The winning ticket was sold at the BP Gas Station on Reisterstown Road in Pikesville for the Sept. 3 drawing. As of Sept. 8, no one has come forward to claim the prize.

Lottery officials confirmed the prize is still open. Maryland Lottery reports more than $13.4 million in Powerball prizes have been won in the state since May 31. That includes 37 winning tickets ranging from $50,000 to $1 million.

Details of the Winning Powerball Ticket

The $1 million ticket was the largest unclaimed prize in Maryland from the September drawings. According to the Maryland Lottery, it was purchased at BP in Pikesville. Players have 182 days from the drawing date to claim their winnings.

Other unclaimed prizes include a $150,000 ticket sold Sept. 1 at Gray’s Market in Marbury and a $100,000 ticket sold Sept. 4 in Sykesville. Several $50,000 winning tickets were also sold in Baltimore, Silver Spring, Elkridge, and other cities. Some tickets have been claimed, but many remain unclaimed as of Sept. 8.

Maryland Lottery officials noted that with every Powerball ticket sold, 25 cents per dollar supports state programs. Sales from this jackpot run have already added an estimated $14.5 million to state funding.

Why Players Should Check Their Tickets

Winners often miss prizes because they misplace tickets or fail to double-check numbers. Lottery officials encourage players to check tickets carefully. Claims must be made in person at Maryland Lottery offices within the required period.

Unclaimed prizes are common but can mean lost opportunities for winners. If the $1 million Powerball ticket remains unclaimed, the money will eventually be returned to the state and used to support future lottery prizes and programs.

The Maryland Lottery reminds players that even if the jackpot is not won, second-tier and smaller prizes can still change lives. According to Associated Press reports, similar unclaimed winnings have happened in other states, showing a frequent pattern of missed opportunities.
