WARREN (WWJ) -- Someone is a millionaire and doesn't even know it yet after purchasing a winning lottery ticket in Metro Detroit.

The Michigan Lottery announced that the Warren Market, located at 28069 Mound Road in Warren, sold the ticket for the May 5, 2021 drawing -- but nobody has claimed it, yet.

Now there is a call to find the lucky player, since there's only one month left for them to claim the $1 million Powerball prize. If it's not, the money will go to the state School Aid Fund.

Powerball tickets are valid for one year from the drawing date. The prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. on May 5.

The winning ticket matched the five white balls drawn: 16-23-28-40-63.

The winner should contact the Michigan Lottery Player Relations Division at 517-373-1237 to schedule an appointment to collect the big prize. The prize must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Lansing.
