Phillip Prince of Wagram tried his luck on a $1 Cash 5 ticket Sunday and won a $324,564 jackpot.
Prince bought his lucky Quick Pick ticket from Stop N Go on Caledonia Road in Laurinburg. His ticket matched all five numbers in the drawing to win the jackpot. Another ticket also matched all five numbers in the same drawing so Prince received half of the $649,128 jackpot. The odds of matching numbers on all five balls are 1 in 962,598.
Prince claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Tuesday and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $232,065.
Cash 5 is one of six lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Wednesday's jackpot is $100,000.
