LOTTERY players in one state have been urged to check their leftover tickets as nearly 30 prizes remain up for grabs.
A raft of players in Washington have unknowingly scooped different amounts of money .
Almost 30 lottery tickets have gone unclaimed in Washington, with one being worth $1 million AP
One of the wins includes a $1 million Powerball ticket drawn over the weekend.
The ticket was purchased in Lynden, 15 miles north of Bellingham, and was won on August 24.
However, the lucky owner of the ticket has until February 20 to claim their prize.
The winning numbers were: 05, 15, 21, 24, 43 with Powerball 17.
Unfortunately, the player missed out on the $35 million jackpot by missing the Powerball number.
They also had the opportunity to triple their win by buying a Power Play which was X03 over the weekend.
The next opportunity to play for the Powerball jackpot which is now $54 million will be on Wednesday.
While the unknown millionaire has a few months to stake their claim, other Washington winners cannot be too patient.
A Match 4 ticket bought in Everett, 25 miles north of Seattle, saw someone win $10,000.
However, the ticket bought from Safeway was drawn on March 7 and is still yet to be claimed.
The winner has just a week left to take their winning ticket to a lottery office as it expires on September 3.
The ticket won with the following numbers: 01, 03, 11, 16.
In total there are 27 unclaimed lottery wins in Washington, adding up to over $1.3 million.
The majority of the tickets are for Match 4 games.
Any players who find that they have a winning ticket must claim their winnings at a regional Washington lottery office before 5 pm on the day it expires at the latest.
The Washington Lottery gives players 180 days from the draw date for a prize to be claimed.
