While billion-dollar jackpots grab headlines the moment they're won, some life-changing lottery prizes quietly sit unclaimed, and time is running out. From a Lucky for Life ticket in Wyoming to multi-million-dollar wins in Arizona and South Dakota, several big prizes are still waiting for their winners to step forward, unlike the $1.8 billion Powerball jackpot that has just been claimed in Arkansas. Lottery officials are urging players to check old tickets before these jackpots expire for good.
Life-changing prize remains unclaimed
While the Lucky for Life is coming to an end on February 21, 2026, there are still some winning tickets remaining unclaimed. That is the case for one lucky Wyoming Lottery winner.
During the November 6, 2025, drawing, one lucky ticket matched all of the white ball numbers drawn that night to win the $25,000 a year for life prize.
The winning white ball numbers for that drawing were 9, 15, 32, 39, and 41, and the Lucky Ball number was 11. The winning ticket was purchased in Jackson, Wyoming.
The lucky winner has 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize, or it expires. If you are holding onto this winning ticket, that means you have until May 5, 2026, to claim your prize.
$13M jackpot remains unclaimed in Arizona
In Arizona, a jackpot-winning ticket for The Pick, which is worth nearly $13 million, from the November 24, 2025, drawing remains unclaimed.
One lucky ticket matched all the winning numbers for that November 24 drawing, which was for $12.8 million. The winning numbers for that drawing were 3, 13, 14, 15, 19, and 26.
According to the Arizona Lottery, the winning ticket was purchased at the Circle K, located at 5601 East Bell Road in Scottsdale. If you are holding onto this jackpot-winning ticket, you have until May 23, 2026, to claim your prize.
Millions remain unclaimed in South Dakota
South Dakota Lottery players also need to pay attention. Time is running out to claim their large prizes on a pair of winning Powerball tickets.
The first ticket won $2 million during the August 23, 2025, drawing. The winning white ball numbers for that drawing were 11, 14, 34, 47, and 51, and the Powerball number was 18.
The winning ticket was purchased at Gas N More located in Mobridge. The deadline to claim this ticket is February 19.
This winning ticket matched all five of the winning white balls drawn to win $1 million. The ticket included the Power Play add-on, which increased their winnings to $2 million.
In addition, another ticket worth $500,000 is about to expire from the Powerball Double Play draw game.
This ticket was from the August 27, 2025, drawing. The winning black balls for that drawing were 12, 19, 26, 51, and 62, and the Powerball number was 18. The lucky ticket matched all of the winning black ball numbers drawn to win the $500,000 prize.
This winning ticket was purchased at Hy-Vee Gas, located at 5201 W. 26th St. in Sioux Falls. If you are holding onto this winning ticket, you have until February 23 to claim your prize.
