In an extraordinary twist of fate, a couple from Kendallville, Indiana, discovered a Powerball lottery ticket worth $1 million mere hours before it was set to expire. The winning ticket was purchased on July 7, 2023, and would have become invalid after Thursday, December 26, 2023, if not claimed. The couple, who chose to remain anonymous, realized they had not yet checked the ticket before the approaching deadline. After confirming their winnings, they expressed their disbelief, with one partner stating, ‘We were just shocked. We had no idea we held something so valuable.’ The winning numbers were 9, 22, 26, 41, 42, and the Powerball number was 8. The Indiana Lottery encourages all players to regularly check their tickets, reminding everyone that claiming prizes can often be done through various means like mobile apps. This incident showcases the importance of not letting winning tickets sit unclaimed, as the couple learned just in time to secure their financial windfall.
