Have you checked your lottery tickets lately? A winning Powerball ticket worth $50,000 is set to expire on May 9, and it could be yours!

The ticket was purchased in November 2023 at Love's Travel Stop #394 in Demotte, Indiana, for the drawing on November 11. It matched four out of five white balls and the Powerball.

Don't miss out on this chance! If you think you might have the winning ticket, here's what you need to do:

  • Double-check the numbers: The winning numbers for the November 11, 2023 drawing were 1-12-14-24-57, with a Powerball of 7.
  • Secure your ticket: Make sure your ticket is in a safe place and avoid damaging it.
  • Claim your prize: The deadline to claim the prize is May 9 at 4:30 PM ET. Head to the Hoosier Lottery Prize Payment office in Indianapolis or contact them at 1-800-955-6886 to schedule an appointment.

Thinking about playing Powerball? Here's a quick guide:

  • Tickets are $2: Get yours at any participating Hoosier Lottery retailer.
  • Pick your numbers: Choose five numbers between 1 and 69 and a Powerball number between 1 and 26. You can pick your own numbers or ask for a Quick Pick for random selection.
  • Play multiple drawings: Opt for Multi-Draw to play the same numbers for up to 12 consecutive drawings.
  • Multiply your winnings (optional): Add Power Play for $1 to potentially multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X, or even 10X (when the jackpot is $150 million or less).

Double Play for another shot at winning

For an extra $1, add Double Play to your ticket. This enters your numbers into a second drawing after the Powerball drawing, with prizes ranging from $7 to an incredible $10,000,000.

Drawings happen every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday around 11:00 PM ET. Check HoosierLottery.com for live broadcasts and winning numbers.
