Gary -- Time, and luck, has run out for whoever bought a Powerball ticket worth $100,000 last summer at a northern Indiana
gas station.
Wednesday's deadline for redeeming the ticket passed with no one claiming the prize, which would have paid around $75,000
after taxes, Hoosier Lottery officials said.
The ticket, which matched five of six numbers in the drawing, was purchased at a D-Mart store in Lake County's Calumet Township
for the June 18 Powerball drawing.
Store manager Pali Singh said his customers had been searching their pockets, cars and homes in hopes of finding the 6-month-old
ticket since lottery officials announced the prize deadline was nearing.
