LOTTERY officials are warning players to check their numbers as a $50,000 prize remains unclaimed.

The ticket, bought at a regional grocery store, is due to expire soon.

A $50,000 winning ticket for the Powerball draw on Monday, January 9 was sold at Food Lion store No. 224 in Seaford, Delaware.

But nine months later, the prize still remains unclaimed.

The ticket holder has one year from the draw date to claim their prize, according to the Delaware Lottery, leaving just three months left.

If you are the lucky ticket holder, you must sign the back of the ticket using an ink pen to claim ownership.

And the rightful holder of a winning ticket for the Wednesday, September 27 drawing is yet to come forward after buying their ticket at Wawa.
