RALEIGH – Carolina Cash 5 players in North Carolina, especially those around Wilson, should double-check any tickets they have to see if they are the winner of an unclaimed $156,060 jackpot prize.
The ticket was purchased for the April 11 drawing and will expire on Tuesday, Oct. 8. It was sold at H Mart on 1207 Forest Hills Road in Wilson.
The ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls to win the jackpot. The winning numbers for the drawing were:
1-4-7-39-43
“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 Tuesday, Oct. 8. This deadline ends the 180-day period for winners to claim prizes from the April 11 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.
