Luck hasn't run out yet

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - February 16, 2010

Lottery officials had said the $2.5 million jackpot would expire last Friday.

But they miscalculated the date by three days.

So, lottery officials have decided to extend the deadline until next Monday.

That winning ticket had been sold at a Meijer convenience store on the south side of Indianapolis for the Aug. 19 drawing.

But the double dose of good luck will turn into a pumpkin -- if that winning ticket isn't turned in by 5 p.m. Monday.
