Check your tickets, Kansas City, because the luck of a Powerball winner is about to take a turn.

A $50,000 winning ticket purchased in Kansas City’s Northland in September has remained unclaimed, and the ticket is set to expire on Thursday, according to the Missouri Lottery website.

The ticket was purchased for the Sept. 30 drawing at the QuikTrip at 4380 N.W. 90th Street in Kansas City, North. The numbers for the drawing were 19, 30, 37, 44 and 46, with a Powerball of 22.

The Missouri Lottery said any prize money that goes unclaimed 180 days after the draw date will benefit Missouri public education.

The next Powerball drawing is Wednesday night. The jackpot is estimated to be $865 million, which, if won, would be the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history.
