Cash 5 is one of six lottery games in North Carolina, including the newly added Pick 3 and Pick 4, where players have the option of buying their tickets through a retail location or Online Play, either through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Cash 5 tickets are $1 and drawings are held every night. The odds of winning a Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 962,598. Thursday’s jackpot is $100,000.

Ticket sales from draw games make it possible for the lottery to raise $2.5 million a day on average for education. A $15 million grant, using money raised by the lottery, helped McDowell County build the new Old Fort Elementary School.
