WINNER COULD LOSE
Someone, somewhere, bought a $1 million winning Powerball ticket at a Thornton Albertson's on Sept. 16. As of Monday morning, lottery officials had yet to hear from the winner, who must claim the prize by March 15.
"Time is definitely running out, and we're getting a little nervous," Colorado Lottery director Peggy Gordon said in a statement.
The winning numbers are 7, 8, 26, 27 and 42, with a Powerball number of 12.

The "Denver Digs Trees" program will be handing out trees April 21 for planting along city streets. But the application deadline is near - residents must submit a request form by March 9.

Trees are $20, or free for those who qualify.
Forms are available at theparkpeople.org, by e-mail at info@the parkpeople.org or by calling 303-722-6262.
