s/he matched 5 of the 6 #'s.
and to get $1M on 5 numbers instead of $200k, paid $1 extra per ticket for 'PowerPlay' (basically doubling your purchase price per ticket).


My top 4 explainations why the person let the ticket expire:
1) He died
2) He lost the ticket after he bought them and never knew it was a winning ticket

3) He checked the #'s from the wrong drawing
4) He never checked the #'s, making him an even bigger moron


edit:
North Carolina Education Lottery is NC's name for their lotto dept (including scratch offs)
