Did you buy a Powerball ticket in Aurora last November? If so, you might want to check those ticket numbers, because someone with a winning ticket has yet to claim the outstanding $50,000 prize, according to a news release.

The winner has scant time left to collect. The ticket will expire on Nov. 21, and as of Oct. 22, no one had claimed the prize, according to the release.

Whoever bought the winning ticket purchased it on a Tuesday evening, Nov. 20, 2018, in Aurora, a small town south of Wilsonville. The winning ticket numbers are: 07-14-23-38-55-18.

Oregon Lottery tickets like a Powerball ticket expire a year after purchase, according to the release. Several other tickets are set to expire, too. A $100,000 Powerball ticket will expire in February, sold in Portland. A winning ticket sold in Medford will expire in March with another $50,000 prize.

Though the expired winnings don’t land in the pockets of the lucky ticket owners (or unlucky, for that matter), the money doesn’t go to waste. It’s dropped into Oregon’s Economic Development Fund -- comprising about $5 million in unclaimed winnings each year.

But the winning ticket holder still has a few weeks left to claim that $50,000. All the winner needs to do is sign the back of the ticket and schedule an appointment with Oregon Lottery office to claim the prize, according to the news release.

“Picking up an extra $50,000 would make for a very plentiful Thanksgiving in my book,” Patrick Johnson, Oregon Lottery spokesman, said. “Anyone who purchased a Powerball ticket in Aurora last year, make sure you check your ticket. If you have the winning ticket, sign the back immediately and claim it at the Oregon Lottery.”
