There’s an unclaimed lottery ticket worth $500k in Denver that expires next week

I’ve thrown away lottery tickets in frustration when they don’t win the jackpot, but you should always still check, because this could be you…

Earlier this year, someone bought a Powerball Double Play ticket at the King Soopers at 8031 Wadsworth Blvd. in Arvada for the drawing on March 23. The ticket was worth $500,000, but almost six months later, no one has claimed it.

If the winning ticket holder doesn’t come forward in 180 days, which would be Sept. 19 for this ticket, the proceeds will go into the beneficiary fund, which is given to Great Outdoors Colorado, the Conservation Trust fund and Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

The winning numbers were 18-24-43-46-47, and the ticket matched all five, just missing the Powerball, according to the Colorado Lottery.
