There are a dozen unclaimed WA lottery prizes. Some are about to expire. Check the numbers
A lottery player who bought their ticket in Thurston County’s Rochester on Saturday still has an $8.6 million winning ticket to claim, but other Washington Lottery players should check their tickets, too. That’s because there are a dozen additional unclaimed winning tickets, with large prizes ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, according to Washington’s Lottery.
The winning Rochester ticket can be redeemed up until Oct. 26. Jackpot winners can choose between cashing the ticket in its entirety after tax, or receiving payments annually for 25 years.
The winning numbers of the $8.6 million prize are 11-18-20-27-39-47.

Claiming a WA lottery ticket
Washington’s Lottery web page outlines multiple ways players can check for a winning ticket:
Check your numbers on the Washington’s Lottery website
Look on the Washington’s Lottery app on your smart device
Show your ticket at a lottery retailer’s “Check-A-Ticket” machine
Call the lottery winner’s hotline at 1-800-545-7510
Tickets under $600 can be claimed by mail, but winners who have winning tickets worth more than that must present their tickets in person. Here’s what Washington’s Lottery says you should do if you have a winning ticket:
Keep the ticket in a cool, secure and dry place.
Sign the back of the ticket. Only one person can redeem a ticket.
You can cash a ticket worth $600 and under at any Washington’s Lottery retailer. To find a retailer near you, check the Lottery’s “Where to Play” web page.
You must cash a ticket worth more than $600 but less than $100,000 at a Lottery regional office or its main state location in Olympia. The five regional offices are in Everett, Federal Way, Spokane, Vancouver and Yakima. To contact an office, see more information on the Lottery’s contact page.
If you have a ticket worth more than $100,000, call the office ahead of time to set up an appointment. Winners must bring the signed ticket, a picture ID, proof of their Social Security Number or a winner claim form to the Lottery location to receive the prize.
