BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) - Someone is close to losing $10,000.

The Louisiana Lottery Corp. says whoever has the winning $10,000 Powerball ticket sold in Bossier City has yet to come forward.

The ticket for the drawing held Dec. 20 was purchased at Kroger in Bossier City.

The prize must be claimed by June 18 or the $10,000 will be transferred to Louisiana Lottery's unclaimed prize fund. That money is returned to players as increased payouts on scratch-off tickets, second-chance drawings and other player promotions.
