Beaufort County man wins $123,752 Cash 5 jackpot

Dana Morgan of Beaufort County said the $123,752 jackpot that he won in Wednesday’s Cash 5 drawing will help him take care of his family and make them more secure financially.

“It’s a blessing,” said Morgan, a Pitt Community College technical assistant.

Morgan and his wife were visiting his mother in Fuquay-Varina on Wednesday when he stopped at the Food Lion on Broad Street and bought a Quick Pick ticket for that night’s drawing. He said he woke up about 12:30 a.m. Thursday, saw he had won the jackpot, and told his wife the good news.

“I was shocked,” Morgan said later that day as he claimed his prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. “We laughed about it and stayed up all night talking about it.”

After required federal and state tax withholdings, Morgan took home $87,555.

“I just want to take care of my family and live a happy life,” Morgan said. He currently is attending The University of North Carolina at Pembroke online to earn a bachelor’s degree in business administration and management and said he hopes to go to law school and become an attorney.

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, through Online Play on the lottery’s website, or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile app.

Saturday’s Cash 5 jackpot is $133,000.

NC lottery I have a question have yall ever thought about doing power up on the cash 5 like they do in South CarolinaNC Lottery
Hey Schmeka, We're always looking for new ways to change and improve our games for our players! We will pass your suggestion along to the folks who create our games and promotions.

NCEL has to do better . Folks are playing the pick 3 and pick 4 with their hard earned money and we cant even get a Trip to be drawn yet Virginia brings two trip within 3 days. NC pick 3 and pick 4 have become garbage . pure garbage with those unpopular numbers consistently drawn. Pure garbage and this not just coming from meNC Lottery
We hear you, Michael. We love it when popular numbers are drawn and players win lots of money because it makes players happy! However, we have strict rules in place to ensure that every set of numbers, regardless of popularity or possible payout, has exactly the same chance of being drawn in every drawing. We hope your trips hit soon!
