Jerry Miller of Whitsett tried his luck on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won half of a $785,068 jackpot.

Miller purchased his lucky ticket using Online Play on the lottery’s website. He matched all five white balls in Friday’s drawing to win the jackpot. Another lucky ticket purchased by Judy Slocum of Winston-Salem also matched all five white balls and received the other half of the jackpot.

Miller arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $279,681.

Cash 5 is one of six 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. Thursday’s jackpot is $176,000.

Update! Hello Joanie! Like I was saying in my post below, just won on LFL, last night a total 31 dollars, that's the most to date. Oh, did win 3.00 dollars on cash5 last night. Those where on my favorite numbers I play regularly. Hopefully I can win the jackpot soon. Good luck to you!

Been playing the cash5 ever since it was introduced here in nc. Now I've been playing the LUCKY FOR LIFE game pretty regular, with the cash5. I've noticed, that playing LFL, I win more money on it, than I do the cash5.

Congratulations to the both of you! What luck, two different places, that had the same numbers are amazing. 279,681 dollars would be very helpful for me! Save some for next year taxes. But enjoy it while you can.
