One million dollar Powerball ticket in Clinton days from vanishing as March 15 deadline looms
CLINTON, MD — A $1 million Powerball ticket sold at a Prince George’s County liquor store is set to expire March 15, leaving the prize unclaimed just weeks before the deadline.
The second-tier winning ticket was purchased at Chesapeake Liquors, 8853 Branch Avenue in Clinton, for the Sept. 13 Powerball drawing. The ticket matched all five white balls but did not match the Powerball, making it worth $1 million.
