Breakfast for Granville County man comes with $100,000 jackpot

Creedmoor resident Kendrick Woods stopped cooking breakfast Saturday morning to check his Cash 5 tickets and he uncovered a $100,000 treat waiting for him.

“Something just came into my mind saying, ‘Check your Cash 5,’” Woods recalled. “I was in the middle of cooking some sausages.”

He pulled up the numbers from Friday’s drawing and couldn’t believe it when he saw that he matched all five white balls.

“It shocked me so bad,” he said. “I ran upstairs and woke my wife up to tell her.”

Woods said he always believed something like this would happen for him.

“I kept saying to myself that one day I would win the lottery,” Woods said. “My day finally came.”

Woods bought his $1 Quick Pick ticket from BP on Capital Boulevard in Raleigh. He said he has big plans for his winnings.

“My goal is to use the money to get a house,” Woods said.

He arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,250.

“Just was in the right place at the right time,” he said. “It is truly a blessing.”

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 with Online Play. The odds of winning a Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 962,598. Tuesday’s jackpot is $131,000.

Hi you replied to me as As vending machines are only at retailer locations, But In Charlotte one of the Walmart super centers having a Lottery vending machine, its not a retailer location that is what i want to clarify if i get the vending machine from the Walmart does the promotion works ?? NC Lottery
Hi Hari, the Walmart vending machine counts as a retailer location. The promotion is not eligible for online play from a personal device or computer. [/reply}

I love cash 5. Twice I matched 4 numbers. I have been playing the same 5 numbers for 3 years. One day hopefully all 5 will come out.NC Lottery
We're wishing you the best of luck, Marie!

What I meant to mention here is in the advertisement in the beginning it says valid exclusively at retailers only. And in the Question and Answers section mentioned as both retailers and Vending machines, you need to change it at the top as I mentioned.NC Lottery
Hey there, Hari! As vending machines are only at retailer locations, this promotion is still only available at retail locations - either at the counter, or the vending machines.

Your Chance to get $5 Instantly! SEPTEMBER 17TH - 30TH promotion mentioned only at the retailer at the top. If you scroll down at Frequently asked questions Answers section as follows Can I get Instant Cash if I buy my Pick 3 or Pick 4 tickets using Online Play? No. The Instant Cash promotion is only available with a Pick 3 or Pick 4 ticket purchased at a lottery retail store or at a lottery vending machine. its bit confusing, Is it available at lottery Vending machines or not, Please do reply and correct the promotion, if needed can send a screen shot if provided the email.NC Lottery
Hi, Uma! That response is correct. Instant Cash is available for Pick 3 and Pick 4 tickets of $1 or more purchased in-store at the counter and at lottery vending machines. It is not available for tickets that are purchased through Online Play. Vending machines are not the same as Online Play - this promotion is available at lottery vending machines in stores.
