Cash 5 jackpot split by two tickets sold in Greensboro

September 8, 2015 Posted by NC Lottery at 11:29 AM

Saturday's $233,330 Carolina Cash 5 jackpot was split by two lucky tickets purchased just 10 miles away from each other in Greensboro. Each ticket is worth $116,665.

One ticket was sold at the Food Lion on Coliseum Boulevard, and the other was sold at SN Food Mart on N.C. 62 West.

We've got a couple more big jackpots up for grabs this week. Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot is closing in on triple digits. The jackpot is currently an estimated $95 million annuity, or $58.8 million if the cash option is chosen.

Wednesday night's Powerball drawing is a big one, currently an estimated $149 million annuity or $94.8 million if taken as a lump sum.

Good luck to everyone in this week's drawings!

I notice someone won $50,000 on the new ultimate millionaire ticket but I don't see a name/city they are from... I do check top prizes.... NC Lottery
We update our Instant Ticket pages daily on how many remaining prizes are left at each level. So that's the best place to check on that info. We post the names of the winners after they claim, so that can be delayed a bit. We're glad when players check the odds and prizes before they play. That's a smart thing to do.

people in NC would like to no why is it that every state but Nc has pick 3 triples falling every month,some twice a month, it has been 251 draws since a triple has fail, can you answer this question. NC Lottery
Our drawings are closely supervised to ensure everybody's numbers get the same chance to win. The odds of any one combination of three numbers being drawn in any Pick 3 drawing are 1 in 1000. Each drawing is an individual event. It doesn't matter what combination came out the day before. The odds remain the same. Good luck to everyone who chooses to play.

I cash in on a cash5 ticket and received an exchange ticket , what is that all about??? NC Lottery
If a player wins on any of the drawings during a Multi-Draw play, he or she can cash in their winnings at a retail location and an exchange ticket will be printed for the remaining drawings that are still active on the ticket.

I'm still waiting for my big win. I hope it will be soon. I've been playing for a few years now. I would love to win the powerball or megaball. Wish me good luck.

I never win any of the second chance drawing. I used to upload a lot of tickets and use a lot of points trying. Im about to give up on scanning these tickets!

LUCKY!!!!! :-)

When i click on 2500 winning Wednesdays, it takes me to the charlotte hornets entry. Get off your butts and get that fixed. Thanks. NC Lottery
The link takes you to the webpage where the $2,500 Winning Wednesday drawing is. Try again and scroll down to the bottom of the page. We did see the confusion since the Charlotte Hornets Prize Giveaway is what you see first. We'll see if we can make it easier to navigate. Sorry for the trouble.

Cont ,least amount for win(s) on a scratch ticket.

9/09/2015 11:39 - james c.

Is there a publication of the least amount for ' win payouts 'on a scratch ticket . in fairness of disclosure information ,this least amount per win per ticket should be printed on that ticket . NC Lottery
Sure. You can get that online on our Instant Games page http://www.nc-educationlottery.org/instant.aspx; at play centers at lottery retailers in the "Odds and Information' book; or by calling Customer Service at 877 962-7529.

I think because I stay near duke university no one win near there area but not right because poor people by ticket also they problem looking at the big spendor that go college but the eye center behind Va we never have nothing but little small winner there to keep you coming back so what do you do? I love the lottery but getting out with it now because I can not win nothing

Try and update the winners on your website once a week,the longer the lottery stays in business the worse they get.

9/09/2015 10:02 - Sharlakia W.

It's nice to look and see winners but discouraging when you never see many big winners in or around the greenville area! Maybe some of the lucky tickets will shift this way!!

9/09/2015 08:11 - Debora H.

Good luck everyone!!

9/09/2015 01:02 - Lois B.

The winner's have my blessing congratulations, enjoy your winning.

Man, lots and lots of losing scratch-offs this past weekend. I have never seen it that bad. also, when are the quads coming??,,,nc is wayyyyyyy overdue. Are you guys waiting the nc budget being passed??

9/08/2015 10:26 - Phyllis R.

I'm glad the winnings are getting closer, GOOD LUCK to everybody

9/08/2015 08:39 - Tania D.

Good luck everybody!! Denver, NC needs some luck!

9/08/2015 07:36 - Denver G.

Off subject again, please clarify. On your winners page on the ultimate millions 2nd chance drawing it says 10 winners of $10K, but when you click on the official rules tab it states 10 winners of $5k. NC Lottery
The game rules are correct. It is 10 winners of $5,000. We're sorry about the error and the confusion it caused. It should be correct now. Thanks for letting us know so we could fix it.

9/08/2015 05:05 - Danny P.

Just a question, I have not received an e-mail for my Lucke Reward entries since last Friday 9/04/15 although they do appear in the draw and winners section. Is this your new procedure for entries? NC Lottery
When you submit your entry, you should see a confirmation message identifying the ticket number of the entry and telling you that your entry has been recorded. You can also see your entries by clicking “View your entry history” on the Enter Tickets page. If that is not working, call Customer Service at 855 767-1863 for help.

9/08/2015 04:10 - Denver G.

Noel, I don't know how long it has been there. There is a filter on the winners page. I just noticed it last week. There is a tab at the top of the page and half way down with 4 options to click on.

9/08/2015 04:03 - janice k.

I'm not sure where the best place to comment or ask, but I've been entering the drawings and one page says I entered 7 times( which I did) ,but on the winners page, it says 0 entries. This was for the past August drawing for $3K. NC Lottery
Best place is Customer Service at 1 855 767-1863 and they can explain what's going. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks!

Tonight would be a perfect time to win, it's my birthday! NC Lottery
Well best of luck and happy birthday!

Nice!!! Congratulations

9/08/2015 02:55 - MASILA M.

how is it possible?????

9/08/2015 02:32 - Shawn V.

Can I make a few suggestions for the viewing winners section as this is just getting to cluttered since there are more than 3 years with multiple drawings: 1) Add a filter by year 2) Add a filter for current active games only (unless your active business rules are not working correctly) 3) My Entries should only show current games, not past games, therefore, change My Entries to My Current Entries and Add My Old Entries Thank you!

9/08/2015 02:29 - Denver G.

They say if you look hard enough you will find the answers. "The 100 pounds of pork portion of the Grand Prize will be awarded in the form of a $2,250 gift certificate to Smithfield Marketplace." That's one expensive pig!

9/08/2015 02:28 - lee w.

seems a lot of winning tickets are sold in Greensboro where the regional office is located.wink,wink NC Lottery
We've got regional offices all over the state. Greensboro is certainly having some good luck lately, though!

9/08/2015 02:11 - joy r.

I will take thank you in advance

9/08/2015 01:19 - Denver G.

Nothing to do with this blog , but I have a few questions. The BBQ 2nd chance drawing states that the 100 lbs. of pork will be given as a gift certificate. What dollar amount will it be? Will it be for raw pork of your choice from a store like Harris Teeter or Food Lion? Or will it be for pork bbq from a bbq franchise?
