SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon Lottery officials say they have some unclaimed prizes on their hands — worth more than $1.7 million actually, dating back to last Nov. 23’s Thanksgiving Raffle.

The largest unclaimed prize is $1 million from the March 17 St. Patrick’s Day Raffle. That winning ticket was sold in Portland. Also unclaimed are two $250,000 Mega Millions prizes, one from Jan. 14 and one from March 1. Both of those tickets were sold in Portland as well.

Players have one year from the date of the game’s drawing to claim their prize.
