Winning Cash 5 Ticket Worth $392,256 Set to Expire Soon

RALEIGH, N.C. — A winning Carolina Cash 5 ticket worth $392,256, sold in Fayetteville, must be claimed by this Sunday.

This ticket was purchased for the November 5 drawing at the Circle K convenience store located at 1902 Owen Drive. The winning numbers were: 8-11-15-20-25. Lottery officials are urging ticket holders to check their tickets and search their homes for the winning slip.

Mark Michalko, the CEO of the N.C. Education Lottery, emphasized the urgency: “Search everywhere you keep your tickets and double-check any you have to see if you hold the winning ticket. We hope that whoever purchased this ticket comes forward to claim the prize soon so we can celebrate the big win.”

As the expiration date approaches, the lottery claim center will be closed over the weekend. Therefore, the ticket must be presented at lottery headquarters in Raleigh before 5 p.m. next Monday to secure the winnings.

The excitement around the winning ticket highlights the importance of checking lottery tickets regularly, as substantial prizes often go unclaimed.
