Lottery players won big prizes in the same game three nights in a row, making for a lucky weekend in North Carolina.
The players bought Carolina Cash 5 game tickets that matched all the numbers picked in their respective drawings, leading to six-figure jackpot wins, the N.C. Education Lottery told McClatchy News via email.
Here’s where the winning tickets came from:
- $120,000 ticket sold at a Speedway in Fayetteville for Nov. 8 drawing
$100,000 ticket sold online to a Rocky Mount player for Nov. 9 drawing
$100,000 ticket sold at The Store in Louisburg for Nov. 10 drawing
Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game that offers tickets starting at $1. To hit the jackpot, a player must beat 1-in-962,598 odds to match all five numbers picked in a drawing, the lottery wrote on its website.
Here are the winning numbers from this weekend’s jackpot drawings:
- Nov. 8 drawing: 3-13-15-23-30
- Nov. 9 drawing: 5-18-36-38-40
- Nov. 10 drawing: 6-11-13-16-24
As of 8:30 a.m. Nov. 11, no one had claimed the Cash 5 prizes. In North Carolina, lucky ticket holders have about six months to cash in on their prizes in drawing games, rules show.
