Have you bought a lottery ticket lately? If so you might want to dig threw the drawer, your car, or your purse and try to locate it. It could be worth a pretty penny. According to the NC Education Lottery a winning ticket was purchased in the Nov. 7 drawing. You may not remember but this is the same drawing where a California man won a world record $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot. So there were a lot of tickets purchased for this particular drawing. And that $1 Million lottery ticket is set to expire this Sunday, May 7th.

It was sold at the Gas Center 5 at 3440 South College Road in Wilmington. The ticket matched the numbers on all five white balls in the drawing to win the $1 million prize. The winning numbers for the drawing were:

10-33-41-47-56-10

So if you've been in the Wilmington area in November and purchased a lottery ticket, do everything you can to find it. Because if you don't need that extra million I could sure use it! And since I reminded you- remember me when you're rich.
