Smith said the ticket remained in the drawer for several months, until his cousin told him he had heard about a Cash 5 jackpot about to expire.
The player found his ticket in the drawer and discovered it matched all five numbers from the June 21 drawing: 4-17-18-30-31.
Smith and his dog, Zeus, collected his $100,000 jackpot less than 48 hours before the ticket would have expired.
