Donald Bruce Jr. of Salisbury took a chance on a $1 Cash 5 ticket on Saturday and won a $268,966 jackpot.

Bruce bought his lucky ticket from the Quality Mart on Perch Road in Pinnacle. His ticket matched all five numbers in the drawing to win the jackpot. The odds of matching all five balls are 1 in 962,598.

He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Tuesday and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $192,986.

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 the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Wednesday’s jackpot is $130,000.
