The winning ticket was sold at the Brotherhood Market on South Pollock Street in Selma.
“We’re asking Cash 5 players in Johnston County to double check their tickets,” Alice Garland, executive director of the N.C. Education Lottery said. “It takes a lot of luck to win, and we hate to see any prize go unclaimed.”
Players should see if they have the following winning numbers drawn in the Aug. 27. drawing:
5-7-8-21-26
To claim the prize, the ticket must be brought to lottery headquarters in Raleigh by 5 p.m. on Feb. 23. The deadline is the end of the 180-day period winners have to claim their prize.
