We’ve got a million reasons why you should play Cash 5, but if you only need one, how about this? The jackpot for Friday’s drawing is $1 million.
This is only the third time in over five years that the jackpot has reached $1 million. Check out the video to meet some of the winners of our largest Cash 5 jackpots.
Largest Cash 5 Jackpots:
- $1.7 million: 17 people shared the jackpot in June 2017
- $1.35 million: Three people split the jackpot in May 2011
- $1.18 million: Arthur and Helen Hemby of Sanford claimed the jackpot in August 2017
- $1.14 million: Homer Buffaloe of Zebulon won the jackpot in March 2013
In November, the lottery made changes to the game so that the jackpots would get larger faster. Jackpots now start at $100,000 instead of $50,000. If no one wins a jackpot it will grow by at least $10,000. This is the first time since the changes were made that the jackpot has reached $1 million.
Remember, you can get your Cash 5 ticket at any retail location that sells lottery tickets, or you can buy them through Online Play.
Good luck!
