Did you drop a lottery ticket, North Georgia?

Because more than $1 million in prize money is sitting unclaimed in the Georgia Lottery, officials said.

Ten days ago, someone bought a winning Fantasy 5 ticket at the Sunoco Food Mart at 2235 Barnesville Highway in Thomaston, Georgia Lottery spokeswoman Nia Roberts said.

That piece of paper is worth $1,087,219.

Check your pockets.

Winning numbers from the Nov. 17 Fantasy 5 drawing were: 8-13-14-16-39.

The winner has 180 days from the draw date to claim the prize.
