It might just be your lucky day if you recently purchased a lottery ticket at a Charlotte Food Lion. A Cash 5 ticket sold at the Food Lion on Idlewild Road was worth a whopping $1.1 million.
This ticket, which cost merely $1, matched all five numbers, beating the odds of 1 in 962,598 to claim the jackpot. Winners have 180 days from the draw date to come forward and claim their winnings.
This marks a significant milestone. It’s the first time since September that a Cash 5 prize has topped $1 million. Following this win, the jackpot will revert to $100,000.
Along with five other games, Cash 5 offers North Carolina residents the flexibility to purchase tickets either in-store or digitally via the state lottery’s official website and app.
