Winning $1M Powerball Ticket Sold In Scottsdale Will Soon Expire

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — Check your Powerball tickets, because $1 million is on the table.

An unclaimed $1 million Arizona Lottery Powerball ticket sold in Scottsdale in May will expire Nov. 18, according to a news release from the Arizona Lottery.

The winning ticket was purchased May 21 at the Circle K at 7140 E. Shea Boulevard in Scottsdale. The winning ticket matched five numbers drawn May 22, but did not match the Powerball to hit the big jackpot.

Arizona Lottery is urging Powerball players to look through their junk drawers, glove boxes and pockets to find the winning ticket and claim their prize.

“This is an amazing opportunity for one lucky player to make their dreams come true and take home a truly life-changing win,” said Arizona Lottery Executive Director Gregg Edgar in the news release. “When a player wins big, other players are inspired to play and that results in more funds for a variety of vital programs and services across Arizona. So we encourage you all to check your tickets and look around your house before it’s too late. Who knows, this big winner might be you.”

In the 2021 fiscal year, nearly $16.5 million in lottery winnings went unclaimed. Almost $5 million of that went to Court Appointed Special Advocates. CASA is a program where a judge appoints volunteers to speak in court on behalf of abused and neglected children. An additional $250,000 went to the Dual Tribal Enrollment Fund and $1 million went to the Internet Crimes Against Children task force and Victims’ Rights Fund.

In addition to the $1 million unclaimed winning Powerball ticket, there are six more large prizes worth more than $1.2 million still waiting to be claimed, according to Arizona Lottery.

Players can double check their tickets using self-serve ticket checkers available at any Arizona Lottery retailers or on their smartphones with Arizona Lottery free mobile ticket checker app.
