A Carolina Cash 5 player who bought a lucky ticket in Wayne County hit the jackpot to win $548,583. The ticket, sold at the Kangaroo Express on Buck Swamp Road in Goldsboro, was the only one to match all five numbers in the June 6 drawing. The winning numbers are: 8-14-15-29-34.
“We’re excited,” said store manager Sandra Canter. “I’ve been saying ‘I wish we would sell a big winner so we could see who it was!’ It only takes one ticket for one person.”
If it turns out the winner lives in Wayne County, the $548,583 jackpot would be more than double the current record Cash 5 prize awarded to a resident there. To date, nine Wayne County players have claimed shares of Cash 5 jackpots ranging from $13,063 to $263,498.
As always, the lottery advises winners to sign their tickets immediately to establish ownership, but reminds ticketholders they have 180 days from the date of a drawing to collect prizes.
Like the folks at the store who sold the winning ticket, the team here at lottery headquarters in Raleigh is looking forward to finding out who has won more than half a million dollars.
