Carolina Cash 5 tickets are $1 and drawings are held every night. Saturday’s jackpot is $137,000.

The odds of winning a Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 962,598. 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.
