The player will have to come to the Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee to collet their prize, but as of Thursday afternoon the winner had not come forward.
Tallahassee District Manager of the Florida Lottery Randall Fox said each winner is a little different.
“It all depends, we see winners here the next day, we see winners wait up until the last minute, but we do want to make sure that they know to secure that ticket, sign their ticket and definitely contact the Florida Lottery,” said Fox.
The winner has 60 days to come forward in order to collect the lump sum prize of $274 million.
They have 180 days if they wish to receive payouts.
There have been 13 Jackpot winners since Powerball launched in 2009.
