PONCHATOULA, La. (AP) - An unclaimed $10,000 Mega Millions ticket sold in Louisiana is expiring soon.
Lottery officials say no one has claimed the prize won during the Feb. 26 drawing.

The ticket holder has until 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23, to claim the prize since the actual expiration date falls on a weekend.
Any prizes not claimed within 180 days are deposited 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.
