A Michigan online subscription yielded a $1 million match on April 29, Kaukauna sold a $50,000 ticket on May 25, and other retailers reported $50,000–$100,000 wins. Officials this week reiterated that winners have 180 days from drawing dates to claim prizes and were urged to sign and secure tickets; state lotteries noted proceeds fund education and retailers collect commissions. The Powerball jackpot is estimated at about $154 million ahead of Wednesday’s drawing, while some earlier March prizes remain unclaimed.
