At $740,000, Cash 5 jackpot largest in over a year

April 16, 2015 Posted by NC Lottery at 1:09 PM

The Carolina Cash 5 jackpot rolled Wednesday night for a 10th straight drawing, making Thursday’s $740,000 jackpot the largest since January of last year.

The last time the jackpot was at least this big – Jan. 24 of 2014 – three lucky tickets split the $792,045 jackpot. Players from Salisbury, Lexington and Mooresville each won a $264,015 share.

Will the jackpot get hit tonight, or roll to an even larger amount? Tune in tonight - or watch the drawing on our website - to see if your numbers are lucky!

So people who live in south carolina can have a north carolina lucke zone account? I'm just confused a little bit b/c i thought this was for just North Carolina. They would have to have a lucke zone account right? to win weekly drawings i mean? ppl from south carolina? NC Lottery
That is correct. Players outside the the N.C. border can have a Lucke-Zone account, but they can't play our subscription games.

How can someone from south Carolina win 2500 weekly drawing from here on lucke zone if this is for North carolina? Just wondering? NC Lottery
They were eligible because they purchased a North Carolina Education Lottery ticket. Thanks for the question!

Well, I have been locked out of submitting my second chance drawing because of a few errors or typepo mistakes. This I don,t understanding.. can anyone give me some insight on this. NC Lottery
The best way to get help is to call our Lucke-Zone hotline at 855-767-1863. They should be able to address any issues you're having.

"Will the jackpot get hit tonight, or roll to an even larger amount?" If 740,000 people win what I always win, it'll reset tonight!

So...I was wondering if there are any plans to get our "ticket checker" system back..or will it ever tell us if we have won when we enter them? ..just curious...thxNC Lottery
We've had many players ask this question. We learned that many players were using the Lucke-Rewards ticket entry system as a way to check their tickets, but that isn't what the system was designed to do - only to see if a ticket was eligible or not. Now that winning instant tickets are eligible, the system accepts all eligible tickets. At some point a feature that flags potentially winning tickets could be added.

I would like to see Cash 5 roll over for at least 6 months and then my only number come up!!! It would be worth the wait!!!
