$1 MILLION POWERBALL

PRIZE REMAINS UNCLAIMED;

TICKET TO EXPIRE JAN. 15

Winning ticket was purchased in Houston for the drawing held on July 19, 2023;

AUSTIN – A second-tier winning ticket worth $1 million for the Powerball

drawing held on July 19, 2023 will

soon expire. The ticket with player chosen numbers was purchased at Big Shot, located at 9780 Bissonnet St.,

in Houston, but the $1 million prize has not been claimed. The winning ticket matched all five of the white ball

numbers drawn (7-10-11-13-24), but not the red Powerball number (24). The deadline to claim the prize is

Monday, Jan. 15.

If choosing to claim the prize in-person at any Texas Lottery

claim center, the ticket holder must claim the prize

by 5 p.m. local time on Friday, Jan. 12 due to Texas Lottery offices being closed on Jan. 15 in observance of

Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

The ticket holder may also claim the prize by mail. The ticket, along with a claim form, must be postmarked on

or prior to the Jan. 15 ticket expiration date and should be mailed to:

Texas Lottery Commission

ATTN: Austin Claim Center

PO Box 16600

Austin, TX 78761-6600

Please allow 8-12 weeks for mail-in claims to be processed.

“We hope to celebrate the Texas Lottery player who became a $1 million prize winner in the July 19, 2023

Powerball drawing,” said Gary Grief, executive director of the Texas Lottery. “We encourage our Powerball players

to take another look at their tickets, and if your numbers match, sign the back of the ticket before claiming your

prize at a Texas Lottery claim center.”

A ticket holder forfeits any claim to a prize for a draw game after the expiration of the 180

day following the

draw date. The deadline may be extended for a period of time for certain eligible military personnel. Unclaimed

prizes revert back to the state for programs authorized by the Texas Legislature.
