Is this unclaimed lottery ticket yours? Don't miss out on $5,000 that will expire in March
This unclaimed lottery ticket could be yours, but if it is, you better act fast because it is expiring soon.
A Lucky For Life ticket hit big on March 11, 2023, resulting in a $5,000 payday for the lucky owner of the winning ticket.
The ticket purchased from Shack & Tobacco Bazaar in Glasgow has yet to be claimed, and if the winner doesn’t come forward soon, the prize will not be awarded.
Winning prizes must be claimed within one year of the date of the drawing, according to the Delaware Lottery, and if you fail to do so, your monetary prize will be forfeited.
So, if this sounds like a ticket you might have purchased last year, start emptying out those pants pockets and shopping bags.
How can I claim my prize?
First things first, sign the back of your ticket using an ink pen to identify yourself as the ticket owner. Once signed, ownership of a ticket cannot be changed or transferred, according to the Delaware lottery.
For prizes $599 or less, tickets can be redeemed at Delaware lottery retailers or at the Delaware Lottery Office. You can also mail your tickets to the Delaware Lottery Office: 1575 McKee Road, Suite 102, Dover, DE 19904.
Prizes worth $2,500 or less can be claimed at select Delaware Lottery retailer claim centers throughout Kent, Sussex and New Castle counties.
