Lucky For Life players in North Carolina, especially those around Southport in Brunswick County, should double-check any tickets they have to see if they are the winner of an unclaimed $25,000 a year for life prize.
The ticket was purchased in the Dec. 27 drawing and will expire on Thursday, June 25. It was sold at the E-Z Way Grocery on North Howe Street in Southport.
The ticket matched the numbers on five white balls to win the prize. The winning numbers for the drawing were:
8-12-24-26-42-17
“Search everywhere you keep your tickets and double-check any you have to see if you hold the winning ticket,” said Mark Michalko, chief executive officer of the N.C. Education Lottery. “We hope that whoever purchased this ticket comes forward to claim the prize soon so we can celebrate the big win.”
The odds of matching five white balls in a Lucky For Life drawing are 1 in 1.8 million.
To claim the prize, the ticket must be presented at lottery headquarters in Raleigh by 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 25. This deadline ends the 180-day period for winners to claim prizes from the Dec. 27 drawing.
To help find the winner, the Education Lottery is sharing news about the unclaimed prize with statewide media and posting alerts on the lottery’s website and social media channels.
