Three lucky Connecticut Lottery players could be sitting on $100,000 each and not even know it. As of Tuesday morning, all three winning Cash 5 jackpot tickets remain unclaimed, leaving a total of $300,000 still up for grabs.

Here's a quick look at the unclaimed winning tickets:

If you recently bought a Cash 5 ticket from any of these locations, now is the perfect time to double-check your numbers. A winning ticket could be hiding in your wallet, purse, or even your car.

Connecticut Lottery rules give players 180 days from the drawing date to claim prizes from draw games, including Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash 5, Lucky for Life, Classic Lotto, Super Draw, Play3, and Play4. Any prize worth $50,000 or more must be claimed in person at the Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Wallingford.

Winning the Cash 5 top prize isn't easy. The odds of matching all five numbers and taking home the $100,000 jackpot are 1 in 324,632, making these unclaimed tickets even more remarkable.
