There is only one month left for the winner of a $250,000 Powerball prize to claim the big pile of cash!

The winning ticket from the March 11, 2024, drawing was sold at the Kroger store, located at 4099 Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills. The winning ticket matched the four white balls and the Powerball drawn: 01-03-07-16-66 PB: 05 to win a $50,000 prize. Thanks to the Power Play, the prize was multiplied to $250,000.

“I am urging all Michiganders to check any Powerball tickets they have purchased to ensure that they aren’t missing the chance to claim this Powerball prize,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “While I am hoping someone does come forward to claim this prize, if it goes unclaimed it will provide a boost to the Lottery’s School Aid Fund contribution.”

The winner should the Lottery’s Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prize. The prize must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing.

Powerball tickets are valid for one year from the drawing date. The prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. on March 11.

If the prize isn’t claimed before the ticket expires, the money will go to the state School Aid Fund.

Powerball plays may be purchased for $2 each at Lottery retailers across the state and online at Michiganmilotteryconnect.casinowinning.net. A “Power Play” option that multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10 times to a maximum of $2 million may be added to any Powerball play for only $1. For an additional $1 per play, Double Play may be added to a Powerball ticket, giving players a second chance to win up to $10 million in the nightly Double Play drawing.

The Powerball drawing takes place at 10:59 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday and may be watched live online at: http://milotteryconnect.casinowinning.net. Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington D.C., U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
