John Vickers of China Grove said it was “surreal” to win a jackpot in his favorite game, Carolina Cash 5, of more than half a million dollars.

His Quick Pick ticket, bought through the NC Lottery Official Mobile App on a smartphone, beat odds of 1 in 962,598 to win the Monday night jackpot of $518,547. After federal and state tax withholding, he took home $366,872.

“It’s very exciting,” said Vickers on Wednesday as he claimed his prize. “Just very exciting to be able to take care of my family and not stretch anymore.”

Vickers says he uses the app to buy tickets because of its convenience.

Cash 5 is a statewide draw game that gives players the chance to win a jackpot every single night. Tickets cost $1 and players can buy tickets at most lottery retailers or through Online Play on the lottery’s website. The jackpot for Thursday’s drawing is $120,000.

Hi @nclottery. I purchased a cash 5 this morning from the machineand mistakenly clicked on something called EZ match which I didn't know anything about it. I'm guessing if one or a few of the numbers appear the cash 5 outcome, I win the prize listed next to the #...... correct? NC Lottery
Hi Sheila, EZ Match is an add-on to a Cash 5 ticket where the terminal provides a ticket with five EZ Match numbers for you at the time of purchase. You can win up to $500 instantly if any of the EZ Match and Cash 5 numbers printed on your ticket match. You can see more info on how to play EZ Match here https://nclottery.com/Cash5How
