Check your pockets! The Michigan Lottery says an unclaimed ticket worth more than $500,000 was sold in Detroit last year and will expire in less than a month.

According to the lottery, a lucky player bought the Jackpot Slots Fast Cash ticket on July 27, 2017 at a Marathon gas station located at 17040 E. Warren Ave. in Detroit. The ticket was an instant win of $519,456 progressive jackpot.

The prize must be claimed by 4:45 p.m. on July 27, 2018 as fast cash tickets are valid for one year from the date of purchase. If the prize isn't claimed before the ticket expires, the money will go to the School Aid Fund.
