UNITED STATES — A winning Powerball lottery ticket worth $1.08bn, sold in Los Angeles, has yet to be claimed amid media speculation.
The owner of the ticket has until April next year to come forward. The choice is between an annuitised prize paid over 30 years, or a lump-sum payment of $558.1m, before tax.
If the winner fails to come forward, the $1.08bn will be returned to the 44 US states where lotteries are sold.
The Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown Los Angeles, which sold the winning ticket, will receive almost $1m for selling it.
