Clive, Iowa — A Powerball ticket worth half a million dollars will expire Thursday.
Lottery spokesperson Mary Neubauer says the ticket was purchased at a Kwik Star in Mason City in March.
The ticket will be worth nothing once the Lottery shuts down on Thursday.
Neubauer says they have tried to do everything they can to make people aware of the prize.
This jackpot is a little unusual as it is from what’s called the “Double Play” option of Powerball.
Neubauer says someone may’ve forgotten about the second drawing.
The 500-thousand-dollar prize will go back into the Iowa Lottery prize pool if it is not claimed by the deadline Thursday.
