The New York Lottery announced a top-prize winning Take 5 ticket was sold at Elmwood Beverage Center on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo.
The ticket, worth $21,935, was sold for the May 5 Take 5 midday drawing.
Drawings take place every day at 2:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Prizes of any value must be claimed within a year of the drawing date.
The winning lottery ticket still remains unclaimed as the ticket was unregistered so the lottery officials urge all the lottery ticket holders to check their tickets and sign on the back of them.
If anybody has a winning ticket, the player must keep it safe and claim the winning prize by visiting the nearest lottery headquarters.
The player can also have the facility of calling or seeing mail to start the claiming process.
