Two lucky lottery players, one in Elm City and the other in Haywood County, started the Fourth of July holiday by winning big jackpots.
The Elm City winner bought a $1 Outlaw’s Loot digital instant ticket and instantly won a Grand Fortune jackpot of $4,703,151 jackpot on Thursday. The odds of that win were 1 in 50 million.
Outlaw’s Loot is a multi-state digital instant game offered now by three lotteries – the N.C. Education Lottery and the Virginia and Pennsylvania lotteries. After Thursday’s big win, the jackpot reset at $150,000 and continues to climb.
The second win occurred when someone won the $318,544 jackpot in Thursday’s Cash 5 drawing. The lucky winner purchased the ticket at the Maggie Valley Mart on Soco Road in Maggie Valley in Haywood County.
The odds of winning a Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 962,598. The jackpot for tonight’s Fourth of July drawing will be $100,000.
Both winners have 180 days to claim the prize.
