Somewhere in Michigan, a ticket worth $131,121 is quietly waiting to change someone's life. The clock, however, is ticking. If the lucky player doesn't come forward soon, that jackpot will slip away forever. And Michigan isn't the only state on the hunt for a missing lottery winner.

Fantasy 5 jackpot still unclaimed

One lucky ticketholder in Michigan has less than one month to claim their jackpot-winning Fantasy 5 ticket. Otherwise, their $131,121 prize will be sent back to the Michigan Lottery. The jackpot-winning ticket was from the December 3, 2024, Fantasy 5 drawing, and it was purchased at Pike Food Center, located at 465 East Oike Street in Pontiac.

The winning numbers for that drawing were 7, 10, 21, 22, and 26.

If you happen to be holding onto this winning ticket, you should contact the Lottery's Player Relations division at 844-917-6325 to schedule an appointment to collect your winnings. These tickets are valid for one year from the date of the drawing. That means the prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. EST on December 3, 2025.

If no one claims the prize money by that time, it will go to the state School Aid Fund.
