Are you holding a $1,000,000 winning Powerball ticket?

TRENTON, N.J. (WABC) -- If you have any old Powerball tickets laying around, you might want to check them - a $1,000,000 winning ticket is about to expire.

Carole Hedinger, New Jersey Lottery Executive Director, says the winning ticket from the Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013 Powerball drawing will expire at midnight on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014 if not validated.

The winning numbers are: 03, 23, 31, 34 and 47. The Red Powerball number is 13. The $1,000,000 winning ticket would have correctly matched the five white balls.

We know someone purchased the ticket in Monmouth County at Kwik Farms, 590 Shrewsbury Ave., Tinton Falls.

"A California player won the jackpot prize of $213.4 million from the Oct. 23, 2013 draw. Perhaps the New Jersey Lottery player didn't bother to check their ticket when they heard that the jackpot was won by an out-of-state player," said Hedinger. "It's important for our players to remember that there are nine ways to win cash prizes playing Powerball."

So clean out the drawers and empty the pants pockets and purses to search of the winning ticket.

Anyone holding the winning ticket should immediately sign the back, contact Lottery Headquarters at 609-599-5801 or visit any New Jersey Lottery retailer to validate the ticket. Once validated, the retailer will provide the ticketholder with a confirmation slip that they can bring to Lottery Headquarters during business hours, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Monday through Friday.
