The deadline is approaching for the winner of a $250,000 Powerball prize to claim their reward. The winning ticket was purchased on March 11, 2024, at a Kroger store located at 4099 Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills. It matched four white balls and the Powerball number: 01-03-07-16-66 PB: 05, initially earning $50,000 before being increased to $250,000 due to the Power Play feature.

The winner must contact the Lottery’s Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to arrange an appointment for prize collection at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing. The prize must be claimed by March 11 at 4:45 p.m.
