ARVADA, Colo. — One lucky person has 10 days left to collect $500,000 from their winning Powerball ticket.
According to the Colorado Lottery, a winning Powerball Double Play ticket was purchased at the King Soopers at 8031 Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada for the March 23 drawing. Six months later, the $500,000 prize remains unclaimed.
Winners have 180 days to claim their prizes. This winner has until Thursday, Sept. 19 to come forward.

The winning numbers for the drawing were 18-24-43-46-47. A Colorado Lottery spokesperson said the ticket matched all five numbers, just missing the Powerball.
To answer your question: no, you can't collect the earnings if they go unclaimed (we tried). If the prize is unclaimed, the money will go to Lottery partners to support several causes, including wildlife preservation projects.
If you do happen to be the lucky winner, you can collect your prize at a Lottery claims center, online or through the mail.
