$150,000 in Kansas Lottery prizes set to expire unless winners step forward
TOPEKA (KSNT) - Lottery officials in Kansas say three prizes, each valued at $50,000, are set to expire soon as no winners have stepped forward to claim the money.
Lottery players in Kansas won many prizes last year, including three $50,000 prizes through the Powerball lottery. However, these three prizes remain unclaimed nearly a year after they were originally drawn.
Kansas Lottery policy gives players one calendar year to collect their winnings before the cash goes back to the lottery. The winners now only have a few days left to claim the money before it becomes inaccessible.
