Due to the amount of this win, Washington’s Lottery requires the winner to schedule an appointment with the HQ office in Olympia to make a safe and secure in-person claim. The retailer who sold the winning ticket will receive a selling bonus of $50,000.
This is the second time a Powerball Jackpot has been won in Washington. The first time was when a woman won the $90 million jackpot back in 2014 after also purchasing the winning Powerball ticket in Auburn.
Additionally, a $1 million Powerball prize from a ticket purchased in Airway Heights, near Spokane, back in November remains unclaimed. The full list of unclaimed prizes can be found here.
Winning players have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize. By law, the prizes that aren’t claimed are placed into a reserve account. Each June, the surplus in the reserve account is transferred to the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account (WOPA), which supports education in Washington State. WOPA helps college students across the state achieve their dreams and supports early childhood education programs. More information on the program can be found here.
Washington’s Lottery has regional offices located in Everett, Federal Way, Olympia, Spokane, and Yakima, which are open to the public to claim prizes Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
