A winning ticket purchased at the San Diego County Fair worth nearly a half-million dollars expires soon.

A winning lottery ticket that was purchased in San Diego five months ago and is worth nearly half a million dollars will expire in less than a month, California Lottery announced Thursday.

The unknown winner has until 5 p.m. on Dec. 14 to claim the $461,407 reward, spokeswoman Cathy Doyle Johnston said.

The Fantasy 5 ticket was purchased at the San Diego County Fair from the La Jolla County Market, a Lottery retailer working the fair, on June 17.
