So, where was the ticket sold?

Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game that offers tickets starting at $1. To win a jackpot prize, a player’s ticket must match all the numbers picked in a drawing.
As of 10 a.m. April 21, the lucky ticket holder hadn’t claimed the prize, lottery officials said. In North Carolina, winners of drawing games have about six months to cash in, rules show.
The Cash 5 win kicked off a lucky weekend for North Carolina lottery players. On April 19, two tickets sold in the state won big in the Powerball drawing, McClatchy News reported.
