The California Lottery search for the person who bought the winning $2.2 million Powerball ticket in Riverside county last October with the emerging deadline.
The winning ticket from an Oct.27 Powerball drawing matching five of the six winning numbers was purchased at the Circle K located at 19470 Brown Street in Perris. Lottery rules say Powerball winners have up to 180 days from the date of the draw to claim their prize.
Lottery officials urge the recipient of the winning ticket to claim it online, at a lottery district office, or at a lottery retailer.
The form may be submitted at any district office or mailed to 730 North 10th Street in Sacramento. The letter must be postmarked by April 25.
If the winning ticket remains unclaimed, the $2.2 million will go toward funding for California public schools, officials said.
Anyone who needs additional assistance can call 1-800-LOTTERY from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST Monday through Friday.
