Time expired to claim a winning lottery ticket sold in Mid-Michigan.

Emotion: smileHello everyone.
This sentence is from Time expired to claim winning lottery ticket bought in Saginaw
(I was told that giving a source is a must, anyway)
Time expired to claim a winning lottery ticket sold in Mid-Michigan.
My question is what the function of the part "to claim a winning lottery ticket sold in Mid-Michigan" is.Is it an adverbial referring to "expired" or adjectival referring to "time" ?

I think that it modifies the noun "time" and that sentence is totally the same as

"Time to claim a winning lottery ticket sold in Mid-Michigan expired" .
Do you think that I am right? If you don't, where am I wrong? Thanks. (By the way, someone said that the infinitive clause modifies the verb, so it is an adverbial. However, it makes no sense to me because there is nothing for the infinitive clause to attach to the verb here.)
