Unclaimed $50K Powerball Ticket in Virginia | Roanoke News

A $50,000 Powerball ticket bought in Lynchburg is about to expire—claimed by no one yet—and if it goes unclaimed by Thursday, August 20th, the prize vanishes forever. Purchased at Quik-E Foods in Forest, this winning ticket (hit February 21, 2026) will instead fund Virginia’s Literary Fund, boosting public schools with tech upgrades and renovations. The Lottery urges winners to redeem it at any of their eight customer service centers before time runs out. A reminder: even if you don’t win big, your claim could still mean big wins for education.
