Mecklenburg County man celebrates $182,073 Cash 5 jackpot

January 11, 2023 Posted by NC Lottery at 9:45 AM

Daniel Brandenburg of Huntersville took a chance on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won a $182,073 jackpot in Friday’s drawing.

Brandenburg purchased his lucky Quick Pick ticket with Online Play using the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. He matched all five white balls in the drawing to win the jackpot. Another lucky ticket purchased by Cedric Bass of Kannapolis also matched all five white balls so Brandenburg received half of the $364,146 jackpot.

Brandenburg arrived at lottery headquarters to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $129,730.

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.

The odds of winning a Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 962,598. Wednesday’s jackpot is $231,000.

@NCEL how many times has the $50K been won since the second cash 5 draw started? I play the $2 ticket and feel I am just giving a extra $1 away as I never WIN. Why is it so hard to get a WIN from the NCEL? I have played the lottery since day one and done second chance and have yet to WIN a T-shirt none less money.NC Lottery
