The person who purchased a winning lottery ticket will miss out on the $1 million prize if they don’t claim the money by Sept. 18, when the ticket is set to expire.

The Powerball ticket, which was purchased at a New Jersey convenience store last year, has the winning numbers 7, 10, 22, 32 and 35. The Red Powerball number was 19.

Last month, a $218,000 Michigan lottery prize went unclaimed, and the money was deposited into the state’s fund for K-12 schools.

Still, sometimes the luck holds out.

A New York man discovered a $2.9 million winning lottery ticket he purchased in July in his truck last month, according to ABC News.

Jerry Ritieni, 47, of Massapequa, was looking for a set of keys in his truck when he came upon a lottery ticket on Aug. 23. He checked the numbers on the Quick Pick ticket, and found they were winners.

“I’m circling them [the numbers] and I'm getting toward the third number and I’m like, 'No way,'” Ritieni told ABC News. “I couldn’t believe it.”

In June, the winner of a $12 million Lotto Texas jackpot failed to claim the prize, the Houston Chronicle reported.

In 2002, the holder of a winning ticket sold in Brooklyn, N.Y., never claimed the $68 million prize. It remains the highest jackpot to go unclaimed in New York Lottery history. The next year, another ticket sold in Brooklyn – for a $46 million jackpot -- went unclaimed.
