A Fantasy Five ticket sold at the San Diego County Fair and worth more than $461,000 needs to be turned in a week from Wednesday, or it will expire, California Lottery officials said today.

The ticket -- with winning numbers 28, 24, 33, 39 and 30 -- was purchased at the fair from the La Jolla Country Market this past summer. Lottery winners have 180 days to claim their prize, or the money will be turned over to schools.

Lottery officials said the Fantasy 5 game is the easiest to win. Prizes begin at $50,000 and increase daily until someone wins.
