It's always unfortunate when winning lottery tickets go unclaimed, especially when they're worth such a substantial amount like $1 million. In this case, both the Texas and Kentucky tickets have a rapidly approaching expiration date of January 15th.

For the Texas ticket specifically, it was purchased at Big Shot in Houston. The clock is ticking, and winners of both tickets have until January 12th, at 5:00 pm local time, to claim their prizes. It's important to note that the lottery office will be closed on January 15th due to the observance of Martin Luther King Jr Day.

If you are the lucky owner of either of these tickets, it's crucial to act quickly and follow the proper protocols to claim your prize. Ignoring the expiration date would result in the loss of a significant sum of money, so it's strongly recommended to check your lottery tickets and double-check the numbers against the winning ones.

In these situations, lottery officials usually try their best to locate the winners before the deadline. They may release information to the public, such as where the ticket was purchased or any other relevant details, in an effort to prompt potential winners to come forward. Additionally, they often reach out to retailers who sell lottery tickets to remind them to inform their customers about potential unclaimed prizes.

Hopefully, with this reminder and the publicity these expiring tickets receive, the fortunate winners will be alerted and able to come forward to claim their well-deserved prizes. It's essential to keep an eye on the news, check your tickets, and make sure you follow the necessary steps to claim a potentially life-changing amount of money.
