Someone who bought a Cash 5 ticket at a Charlotte grocery store won a $1.1 million jackpot last night.
The winner bought the $1 ticket at a Food Lion on Idlewild Road in Charlotte. The ticket matched all five numbers in the drawing. The odds of matching numbers on all five balls playing Cash 5 are 1 in 962,598.
The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.
The $1,159,355 jackpot became the first winning ticket to bring home a Cash 5 prize over $1 million since September. Since the jackpot was won Tuesday, Wednesday’s jackpot resets to $100,000.
Cash 5 is one of six lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.
