Anthony McAndrew of Raeford took a chance on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won a $236,788 jackpot.

McAndrew bought his lucky Quick Pick for the Nov.27 drawing from Fast Mart on Rockfish Road in Raeford. The odds of matching all five balls are 1 in 962,598.

He claimed his prize Thursday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $169,902.

Cash 5 is one of six lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Friday’s jackpot is $284,000.

Hoke County received over $47 million in grants from money raised by the lottery to build a new high school. For details on other ways the lottery made a difference in Hoke County, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
