“A very happy moment,” says Guilford County man after winning $196,232 jackpot

Everette Small of Greensboro had a “good start” to his day Thursday after winning a Cash 5 jackpot worth $196,232.

“It was a very happy moment,” said Small. “We’re tickled to death.”

The moment came the first thing in the morning as Small’s wife checked the numbers from the Wednesday night drawing. She saw the ticket, purchased the day before at the West Friendly BP on West Friendly Road in Greensboro, matched all five numbers in the drawing.

Small and his wife “started shaking” after realizing the ticket won the jackpot. “I hid the ticket,” he said.

Small claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $139,345.

The couple plan to buy a car and save the rest for a “rainy day.”

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. Friday’s jackpot is $110,000.

When the NCEL does not answer a blog post or give a reason why no answer was given but do response to another blogger that all blogs are answered if they meet "Community Standards" doesn't that violate the Standards? Thorne NC Lottery

Hi Kimberly. We know you're eager to find out who the winners are—we are too! Once we notify the winners, they must respond and claim their prize. Only then can we update the website with their names. Apologies for the delay, but until they have responded, we don't officially have winners.
