TRENTON (June 29, 2026) – The clock is ticking on three New Jersey Lottery tickets purchased last summer that have not yet been claimed. New Jersey Lottery tickets expire exactly one year after the draw date on the ticket, meaning these five-, six-, and seven-figure prizes are just a few weeks away from expiring.

So, while we advise all players to check their tickets after every drawing, players that purchased any tickets from the following stores should double-check their drawers, closets, and even old pants pockets for what could be a huge winning ticket hiding away:

As always, New Jersey Lottery reminds players to check their tickets. While jackpot prizes going unclaimed is rare, many small tickets sit unclaimed in drawers and pockets for months or years when they could be redeemed for cash! Tickets can be scanned at any NJ Lottery retail location or with any phone camera using the NJ Lottery app. Ticket numbers can also be entered manually at NJLottery.com/TicketChecker.
