SACRAMENTO – One month has passed since a winning Fantasy 5 ticket was sold in Pittsburg, and California Lottery officials say the $166,599 prize still has not been claimed.
The Fantasy 5 ticket was sold at a Raley’s grocery store at 1375 Buchanan Road, near Highway 4. The winning numbers are 13, 14, 27, 28 and 35.
California Lottery officials want to remind winners to sign the backs of their tickets, keep tickets in a safe place and contact Lottery officials or visit your local Lottery District Office (http://www.calottery.com/AboutUs/Locations) as soon as possible. Winners have 180 days from the date of the draw to claim prizes.
Less than 2 percent of California Lottery prizes go unclaimed. Most are claimed within the first few days after a draw.
Players can always check past winning numbers by visiting the Lottery’s Web site at www.calottery.com, select the game played and click on the link to “winning numbers.”
Meantime, players can take a shot at tonight’s MEGA Millions jackpot of $12 million and tomorrow night’s SuperLOTTO Plus jackpot of $23 million. Tickets cost $1 and can be purchased at any one of more than Lottery’s 20,000 authorized retailers statewide.
More than 95 cents of every Lottery dollar is returned to the community in the form of contributions to education, prizes and retail commissions. The California Lottery contributes at least 34 cents of every dollar that players spend on Lottery products to public education and returns more than 50 percent of sales to players in the form of prizes. Since its inception in 1985, the Lottery has contributed more than $20 billion to California schools out of total sales of nearly $55 billion. Retailers benefit too, earning $3.5 billion in compensation since 1985.
