Deadline passes without anybody claiming $52-million U.S. jackpot
Nearly $52 million has apparently slipped away from whoever bought a winning ticket in the multistate Powerball lottery, which had never seen a jackpot go unclaimed.
The Hoosier Lottery's offices closed Thursday - the last day to claim the jackpot - without anyone showing up with $51.7-million ticket from the Sept. 14 drawing, lottery spokesman Andrew Reed said. The ticket could still be redeemed if it was turned in by midnight or mailed with a Thursday postmark but Reed said lottery officials suspect the ticket bought at a convenience store was lost.
