For Stanley Lawrence of Charlotte, winning a $816,451 Cash 5 jackpot means no more worries about paying for children’s college education.

“I’m relieved,” said Lawrence as he claimed his prize at lottery headquarters on Thursday.

Lawrence purchased his winning Quick Pick ticket for the Sept. 5 drawing using Online Play through the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

“I was quite shocked when I opened my email and saw it Sunday morning,” recalled Lawrence of discovering his good fortune. “I’ve been playing this game for a few years. I used to win here and there, just $5 or $10, but this is a big win for me.”

After federal and state tax withholdings, Lawrence took home $577,640.

“My kids are in high school and middle school so I’ll plan this money for their colleges,” he said. “We’re very happy.”

Carolina Cash 5 tickets are $1 and drawings are held every night. Thursday’s jackpot is $100,000.

Cash 5 is one of four lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets through Online Play either through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App.

Smart man. Unlike most big weekend winners, he did not rush to NCEL head quarters 1st thing Monday morning. He waited almost 3 months to get his financial ducks in row. Always a good idea to make a plan.

Wow I see there has been more online cash 5 winners in the last few months I need to start playing online I can understand why cause alot of people don't want to get out in the stores cause of the pandemic so you might see a lot more winners through on line play. And that would be fair to players as we'll giving everyone a chance to win either in store or on line
