$2M Lotto Ticket Remains Unclaimed In Howard County From Dec. 15 Drawing

HOWARD COUNTY, MD — Maryland's newest multimillionaire hasn't claimed the winning ticket at lottery headquarters just yet, so check your ticket for the Dec. 15 Powerball drawing if it was bought at the Royal Farms at 7136 Montevideo Road in Jessup.

The ticket was a second-tier winner in the Dec. 15 drawing, because it matched the first five numbers that were drawn - and because the ticket included the power play feature, the $1 million prize was doubled to $2 million. The new multimillionaire only missed the right to claim the jackpot by one ball.

The winning numbers to match were 19, 20, 40, 42 and 59; the Powerball was 15. Lottery officials encourage all winners to sign the backs of their tickets immediately and put them in a safe location until they can claim their prize. Winners have 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes. Players must redeem prizes larger than $25,000 by mail or at lottery headquarters in the Montgomery Park Business Center, 1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 330 in Baltimore.
