Carolina Cash 5 players in North Carolina, especially those around Southern Pines, should double-check any tickets they have to see if they are the winner of an unclaimed $164,308 jackpot prize.
The ticket was purchased for the June 3 drawing and will expire on Saturday, Nov. 30. It was sold at Circle K on South U.S. 15-501 in Southern Pines.
The ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win the jackpot. The winning numbers for the drawing were:
8-19-21-29-36
“Search everywhere you keep your tickets and double-check any you have to see if you have the winning ticket,” said Mark Michalko, chief executive officer of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We hope that whomever purchased this ticket comes forward to claim their prize soon so we can celebrate their big win with them.”
The odds of matching all five white balls in a Cash 5 drawing are 1 in 962,598.
To claim the prize, the ticket must be presented at lottery headquarters in Raleigh by 5 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 2. The ticket expires Nov. 30, but since the claim center is closed on Saturday, the winner has until Monday to claim the prize. This deadline ends the 180-day period for winners to claim prizes from the June 3 drawing.
