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
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.
To help find the winner, the Education Lottery is sharing news about the unclaimed prize with statewide media, posting alerts on the lottery’s website and social media channels, and hanging a banner in the store alerting customers to the unclaimed prize.
