NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Time is running out for the person who purchased a winning Powerball ticket at the Stoneybrook Shell on 15428 Warwick Boulevard!

Lottery officials have waited for the winner to claim his or her prize.

However, the person might miss out on their win. Winning tickets in Virginia expire 180 days after the drawing, meaning the ticket will expire at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 9.
