William Taneyhill of Fairview tried his luck on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won a $133,315 jackpot Monday night.

Taneyhill bought his lucky ticket using Online Play. His ticket matched all five numbers to win the jackpot. He split the $266,630 Cash 5 jackpot with another winning ticket purchased at a store in Spring Lake. The odds of matching numbers on all five balls are 1 in 962,598.

Taneyhill claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Friday in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $95,321.

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. Monday’s jackpot is $279,000.

Hey there, Robert! If you bought a ticket at a lottery retailer or vending machine, you can scan the ticket using the scanner on our mobile app, or manually enter the Lucke-Rewards code at https://nclottery.com/RewardsTicketEntry to check if your ticket was a lucky winner, as well as earn Lucke-Rewards or second chance entries for eligible tickets.

Hope this helps!

I agree with Gina.. I have played so many of the 50$ tickets and enter 2nd chance winnings. No big winnings.. just a few hundred now and again. It’s a lot of money to spend at one time. Congrats to all the winners. Blessed and more blessings

I wish you guys would extend the time for the program making you sign back in, it's very aggravating. It was much better the way it was. It's a shame there is only 1 more 2nd chance drawing THIS YEAR, for the 10 Mill. Spect. ticket . There could be a drawing every month on this $50 ticket. This would at least give MORE players hope and anticipation. One more thing: I think the number of entries should be posted beside the winner's name on 2nd Chance AND Lucky Rewards Drawings.NC Lottery
Thanks for sharing this feedback, Gina! The team in charge of these decisions read comments like these, so we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us. We'll also have a variety of new second chance drawings coming this year, so stay tuned for more exciting opportunities!
