Jodie Smith of Wilmington tried her luck on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won a $819,879 jackpot.

Smith bought her lucky Quick Pick ticket using Online Play. Her ticket matched all five numbers in the Nov. 17 drawing. She claimed her prize Thursday at lottery headquarters and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $582,197.

Cash 5 is one of four lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail store or 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. Thursday’s drawing offers a $464,000 jackpot.

How did the prize count on the 30 millionaire maker ticket go from 6, 1 million dollar prizes left to 36 prizes left.NC Lottery
Great question, Betty! We just re-ordered those tickets, which means there are even more prizes to be won by our players now! The increase in prizes is due to that re-order. Hope this helps to clarify!

No matter where you play, you have the same odds of being a winner - it just takes a whole lot of luck!

Hey - MICHAEL B. Me thinks I might be interested in giving game #826 a few tries after all. Like the X Files. Dig deep enough and you'll find the answers. I didn't want to be the spoiler, but I figured Marches' BIG ticket surprise. Did you? The answers are on these very pages.
