Two unclaimed lottery tickets sold in New Jersey worth a combined $200,000 will expire soon, lottery officials said Wednesday.
A $150,000 Jersey Cash 5 jackpot prize and a $50,000 Powerball prize are at risk of going unclaimed as their one-year redemption deadlines approach.
In New Jersey, lottery winners have one year from the drawing date to claim their prizes.
The Powerball ticket purchased at a Quick Chek on Route 130 in Dayton, Middlesex County, must be claimed by Sept. 25.
The Jersey Cash 5 ticket bought at White Oak Liquors on Union Avenue in Belleville, Essex County, has until Nov. 1 before it expires.
Lottery officials encourage players to check their old tickets, citing a recent success story from May when a Mercer County resident discovered a forgotten Mega Millions tick
