PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Three people who played the Oregon Lottery could unknowingly miss out on some major prize money.
According to the organization, deadlines are fast-approaching for three tickets that haven’t been claimed in nearly a year.
The organization reported that a Keno ticket purchased in Salem, with zip code 97302, expires on Saturday, Sept. 21. The prize is worth just over $58,372.
A lottery customer in Bend could also miss out on their $150,000 Powerball prize that expires on Oct. 9. The ticket was sold in the 97701 zip code.

Another Powerball player must claim their $50,000 winnings by Oct. 18. The ticket was purchased in Wilsonville with zip code 97701.
“It’s time to check your junk drawer, coat pockets, and under the couch — anywhere a ticket could disappear,” Oregon Lottery’s Manager of Player Services Heidi Quiring said in a statement. “After a year, the prizes can no longer be claimed.”
Any unclaimed tickets will benefit the state. Oregon received about $7.5 million in unclaimed prizes throughout the 2024 fiscal year, according to lottery representatives.
