Richard White of Raleigh won the $235,750 jackpot in Thursday’s Carolina Cash 5 drawing.

White used his own set of lucky numbers on a ticket he purchased through Online Play. He claimed his prize Friday and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $166,793.

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

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.

Big problem! This prize was reported by NCEL against my SS and now the IRS is coming after my. I informed them to find Richard White. They don't care and now are attempting to charge me penalties and interest. NCEL needs to investigate this. Likely it's a clerical error on a W2-G. Please help.NC Lottery

Congratulations to Richard!

Congrats! +1 what Michael said. Why not put Pick 3 & Pick 4 into the online games. Covid or not, I would like to have Pick 3 online for sure.

I'm so sick of seeing online players winning all of the jackpots. What's the point of having lottery machines in the stores if you want all the winners to be online players? Something fishy about it

Congratulations!

Wake county again!

Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations! I really wish that pick 4 and pick 3 would be approved. Nobody wants to drive to the store just to play numbers with this covid going on. Also how about keno online? Other states do it. NC Lottery
Hey Michael, thanks for this feedback!
