Check your tickets! Someone bought a Powerball ticket for Saturday’s drawing that ended up winning $1 million. The winning ticket was bought at Gunston Shell Service, 9801 Richmond Highway in Lorton.
The winning numbers for the November 29 Powerball drawing were 13-24-30-42-48, and the Powerball number was 27. This ticket matched the first five numbers and missed only the Powerball number.
Whoever has the ticket has 180 days from the drawing date to claim the prize. The Virginia Lottery advises that before doing anything else, the winner should immediately sign the back of the ticket to establish ownership. When the person is ready to claim the million-dollar prize, he or she should contact the Virginia Lottery.
Meanwhile, Lottery officials are still waiting for whoever has a $1 million winning Powerball ticket from the June 21 drawing to come forward before it’s too late. The ticket was bought at Getty Mart, 209 East Holly Avenue in Sterling. If the winner doesn’t redeem the ticket before close of business (5:00 p.m.) on December 18, the ticket will expire and become worthless.
