Claim Deadline Looms
Florida is delighted about a January 20 Powerball unclaimed prize of $1 million. The winner, whose name is unknown, is the focus following the winning numbers—16, 31, 34, 47, and 65, with Powerball 10. The winning ticket was purchased at a Hialeah Publix 30 minutes from Miami.
While winners typically have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prizes, a critical decision point arrives within the first 60 days. Opting for the lump-sum payment is contingent upon claiming the prize within two months. As the clock ticks, the Florida Lottery actively encourages the fortunate ticket holder to come forward and secure their million-dollar win.
With the next Powerball drawing scheduled for Wednesday, the jackpot has surged to $145 million. The unclaimed million-dollar ticket adds an extra layer of intrigue to the unfolding lottery drama. Lottery enthusiasts and curious onlookers eagerly await the resolution, wondering if the mystery winner will emerge for the next draw.

Adding to the suspense, another multimillion-dollar prize remains unclaimed in Florida, sold at a Publix in Jacksonville during a Mega Millions drawing on August 15, 2023. The winning numbers—18, 39, 42, 57, 63, and 7—hold the key to a substantial windfall.
