Louisiana Lottery officials said Tuesday that no one has claimed a $10,000 Powerball prize won in the Nov. 17 drawing.

The winning ticket was purchased at Billy's Mini Mart Inc. on Highway 190 in Krotz Springs. The ticket matched four of the five white numbers drawn and the red Powerball. The numbers were: 3, 15, 27, 58, 59 and Powerball 20.

The holder of the winning ticket has until 5 p.m. May 16 to claim the prize. If no one claims the prize within 180 days of the drawing, the money goes into the lottery's unclaimed prize fund, which is returned to players in the form of increased payouts on scratch-off games and player promotions.
