Winners of $50,000 Powerball Jackpots in Maryland Yet to Claim Prizes
In Monday night’s Powerball drawing, two Marylanders won $50,000 with the numbers 1, 24, 27, 31, and 62, a Power Ball of 20, and a Power Play at x3. One ticket was acquired at Edgewater 7-Eleven on December 9 and the other at Berry Country Market in Waldorf on December 4.
Unfortunately, the winners have yet to claim their rewards. Maryland draw game winners have 182 days to claim their wins and must attend the lottery office in Baltimore by appointment for processing.
Winners must provide a driver’s license, military ID, government-issued ID, or passport to claim the award. They also need a signed Social Security card, W-2 or pay stub, health insurance card, or 1099 form to prove their Social Security number or Tax ID.
Winners Urged to Collect Prizes Promptly
Winners of tickets over $25,000 should anticipate 30 business days for processing. Despite the thrill of winning the lottery, some winners don’t claim their awards in time. A Florida athlete lost $44 million because they didn’t claim it before December 11. This reminds lottery participants to check their tickets immediately.
Since the Florida Lottery’s 1988 debut, 30 jackpots have gone unclaimed. The case stresses prompt lottery prize claims and encourages participants to be alert. This instance reminds winners and lottery shops that large amounts of money can disappear if not collected in time, leaving them hoping for a lucky ticket holder.
