Two tickets split largest Cash 5 jackpot of the year

Two lucky tickets split the $764,146 jackpot in the Wednesday, Aug. 22 Carolina Cash 5 drawing, splitting the largest jackpot seen in the game all year. Each ticket matched all five winning numbers which were: 1-12-17-23-33.

One of the jackpot tickets was sold at the Smile Mart on Eastchester Drive in High Point. The other was sold at the Wilco at the corner of Western Boulevard and Gum Branch Road in Jacksonville.

If that location sounds familiar it is because the store made headlines when a $1 million Powerball ticket sold there recently expired. No winner stepped forward with the ticket that matched all five white balls in the Feb. 4 drawing.

As is always the case with winning tickets for draw games, players have 180 days to collect their winnings. We hope to meet the lucky ticketholders who split the $764,146 Cash 5 jackpot here at headquarters soon.

The odds of winning the Carolina Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 575,757. The jackpot for Thursday’s drawing is reset to $50,000.

@ JAMES - Our last few raffles haven't been as popular as we would have liked them to be. At some point we'll probably do another raffle but there isn't one on the horizon right now.

NCEL should start a raffale drawing. I am positive that two annual drawing would be a success. Players would purchase tickets at $10.00 each over a six month period.

@ PLAYER - The Lucke Rewards loyalty program you're referring to doesn't start until Oct. 1... don't worry, we'll be sharing more details about how that works in the next few weeks!

What do you earn points for when u launch the ones for non winning tickets? Are their certain ones? How does it work? Confused

@ FIAAN - The NCEL follows the law, and withholds 25% federal and 7% state taxes on lottery wins of $5001 and more. (For wins of $601 or more, the lottery witholds the 7% state taxes). These are estimated taxes; a winner's tax obligation could be more or less depending on his or her unique financial situation.

I was just wondering, what is the percentage that NCEL automatically withdraws for tax purposes from any Cash 5 jackpot winner?
