Lottery players in Nebraska are being told to check their old tickets from the Nebraska Pick 5 game.

A ticket sold for the December 3, 2023 drawing won $200,000.

He matched all five numbers to win the game’s top prize, defying the one at 658,008 odds.

The draw numbers were: three, 10, 11, 17 and 28.

The ticket was sold at the Kwik Shop convenience store in Falls City.

But five months later, no one has come forward to claim the riches.

Nebraska lottery tickets expire 180 days after the drawing date.

This means the winner has until May 31st to present themselves.

As the prize is over $20,000, it must be claimed in person.

The lucky ticket holder must come to the Nebraska Lottery headquarters in Lincoln to receive their $200,000.

MORE UNCLAIMED LOTTERY PRIZES

Nebraska is not the only state with lottery riches just waiting to be claimed.

In South Carolina, a $100,000 Powerball prize has still not been delivered to its owner.

A ticket purchased at KC Mart in Greer won big in the drawing held on April 29

Just like in Nebraska, this player has 180 days from the date of the draw to report.
