James Smith of Pinehurst took a chance on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won a $100,000 jackpot in the Jan. 29 drawing.

Smith bought his lucky ticket from Circle H on Beverly Lane in Southern Pines. He arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,010.

Cash 5 is one of four lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets through a retail location or 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 jackpot is $221,000.

Hey there, Shirley! All of our combinations have the same odds of being drawn in each drawing, so we don't have a term for when numbers haven't appeared in a while, but we're glad to hear that one of your favorite numbers dropped!

Hi, Shirley! All combinations have the same odds of being drawn in each drawing (for Pick 3, the odds are 1 in 1,000). Each drawing is an independent event, meaning that results of previous drawings do not affect future drawings. That said, we hope your favorite number hits soon!
