"We look forward to the winners coming forward to claim their prizes. In the meantime, the ticket should be treated as cash," said Lottery President Rose Hudson. "It is also a good idea to sign the back of it for security purposes."

Winners of the Lottery's draw-style games must claim their prize within 180 days of the drawing. After prizes have passed their redemption deadline, they are deposited into the Lottery's unclaimed prize fund, which is returned to players in the form of increased payouts on scratch-off tickets and player promotions.

Millionaire Raffle was the Lottery's first-ever raffle game offering a top prize of $1 million, five prizes of $50,000 and 500 prizes of $500. A total of 506 winning raffle numbers were drawn.

Lottery ticket purchasers must be at least 21 years of age. The Lottery encourages responsible play and urges anyone with a gambling problem, or friends of anyone with a gambling problem, to call toll-free 1-877-770-7867.

Large unclaimed prizes set to expire in the next 90 days can be found on the Lottery's Web site, www.louisianalottery.com/unclaimedprizes.
