Carolina Cash 5 players in North Carolina, especially those around Durham, should double-check any tickets they have to see if they are the winner of an unclaimed $394,216 jackpot prize.
The ticket was purchased for the Oct. 17 drawing and will expire on Monday, April 15. It was sold at Parkwood Convenience on Revere Road in Durham.
The ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win the jackpot. Three winning tickets split the $1.18 million jackpot so each winner received $394,216. The winning numbers for the drawing were:

“Search everywhere you keep your tickets and double-check any you have to see if you have the winning ticket,” said Mark Michalko, executive director 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, April 15. This deadline ends the 180-day period for winners to claim prizes from the Oct. 17 drawing.
