TIME is running out for an Iowa lottery winner to claim their $50,000 Powerball prize.
The winnings came from the December 16 lottery drawing.
The Powerball ticket was bought at Casey's pizza shop and convenience store in Des Moines.
The winning numbers were 3-9-10-20-62, and the Powerball was 25.
The final day to claim the prize is June 13, reports Powerball officials.
Two other unclaimed Powerball prizes worth $50,000 are expiring this month.
The first comes from a drawing on November 11.
Someone bought a winning ticket in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the last day to claim the cash is May 9.
The other prize is from the November 25 drawing, and the winner is in Arizona.
The prize will expire on May 23.
While Powerball is a nationwide game, claim periods vary depending on the state.
It is not possible to purchase a ticket in one state and collect Powerball winnings from it for another.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> So if any of these winners bought their tickets while on holiday vacation, they must return to claim their prize.
WINNER STORIES
Aaron, an Illinois man from St. Charles, about 45 miles west of Chicago, recently claimed his $100,000 Powerball prize.
He was getting ready to leave work when he decided to check his email one more time.
Much to his shock, he had a message from the Illinois Lottery notifying him that he had won $100,000.
He told lottery officials he would use the money for home renovations and a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disney World.
But first, he would treat his family to a steak dinner to celebrate.
<p class="article__content--intro"> Millions dream of winning the lottery and finding fame and fortune. These are the biggest winners in US lottery history. </p> </div> </div> Aaron told lottery officials that the win hadn't "sunk in" yet when he went to collect his prize.
He chose to get a lump sum payment rather than annuity payments.
However, due to the federal 24% tax on lottery winnings and the state tax of 4.95%, about $28,950 was cut from his prize.
Since a Powerball ticket only costs a few bucks, that's still a profit of over $71,000.
The U.S. Sun previously reported on the difference between lump sum and annual lottery winning payments.
