If you bought some Mass Cash tickets and played these numbers on all three, you might have won $300,000 last year.

WALTHAM, MA — Did you buy some lottery tickets last August play and then forget about it? Not one, but three winning $100,000 Mass Cash lottery tickets were sold last August at Fulciniti's and have yet to be claimed. That's right: You could have won, but your ticket might be in the bottom of your bag or under the car seat. Go take a second look, if you still have them.

The winning numbers on these tickets are 01-03-12-18-31. If that sounds familiar, it might just be time for some summer cleaning. But hop to: The three winning tickets purchased at Fulcinitis Market, 121 Hammond St. for the August 31, 2018 drawing must be claimed by Friday, August 30.

Mass Cash prizes have to be claimed within a year of the date of the drawing in which the prize was won. If no one claims the prize the money becomes part of the net profit that the Lottery returns to the Commonwealth and is doled out to municipalities throughout the state. So in a sense, we're all winners.

In February, Jakob Wahlberg won after buying his ticket at Kev's Kwik Market. And then Gina Studley bought three winning tickets in April from S & S Petromart in Lexington.
