RALEIGH - The clock is ticking and about to expire on an unclaimed Carolina Cash 5 ticket worth $168,716 that was sold in Wake County! Players may want to look around and see if they have any Carolina Cash 5 tickets that they may have forgotten to check the numbers against the winning numbers.
The ticket, which was purchased for the Sept. 2, 2008, drawing will expire if not claimed at North Carolina Education Lottery (NCEL) headquarters by 5 p.m. on March 2, 2009.
