A $1 million Powerball ticket bought in New Jersey last year will become worthless if it's not cashed in by Sept. 18.

The lucky ticket, sold for the Sept. 18, 2013 drawing, will expire on the same date this year. The winner has yet to step forward, state lottery officials said this morning.

It was sold at Convenience Express on the 8400 block of River Road in North Bergen. The ticket matched five numbers but not the Powerball.

The winning numbers on the ticket are 7, 10, 22, 32 and 35. The Powerball drawn that day was 19.

If anyone holds that ticket, it should be signed immediately and brought to any lottery retailer so the ticket can be validated and a claim can be filed. The ticket holder can also phone lottery headquarters at (609) 599-5801.

Meanwhile, the jackpot for the current Powerball drawing has climbed to $100 million, with a cash option of $61.7 million. The next drawing is 11 p.m. Wednesday.
