Charles Whittemore of Asheville tried his luck on a Cash 5 ticket and won half of Sunday’s $825,512 Cash 5 jackpot.

Whittemore bought his lucky ticket, using a combination of his own numbers and Quick Pick numbers, from the Roadrunner Market on Sardis Road in Asheville. His ticket was one of two that matched all five numbers in the drawing, so the jackpot was split with each winner receiving $412,756.

Whittemore claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $292,025.

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. Cash 5 tickets are $1 and drawings are held every night.

Congratulations on you win! How was it he was using a combination of Qp and his numbers to win? What luck I'd say. Guess I'm not lucky I guess. I grab a play slip and just marked out numbers out. Hey, won a dollar on it the next day. My 2 sets of numbers I play all the time,hasn't won me much either. But still going to play them. MERRY Christmas to all.NC Lottery
Hi Roger, on playslips or lottery vending machines you can choose some numbers and then use Quick Pick to select the remaining numbers. Good luck!
