A lottery player tried their luck on a ticket — and hit the jackpot in North Carolina.

The player bought a Carolina Cash 5 ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the July 23 drawing, making it worth $321,419, results show.

The winning numbers were: 6-9-24-39-40.

So, where was the lucky ticket sold? The winner bought it at a Refuel gas station in the Raleigh suburb of Knightdale, the N.C. Education Lottery wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game that offers tickets starting at $1. To score a jackpot win, a person’s ticket must match all five numbers picked in a drawing, the lottery wrote on its website.

Lottery officials shared news of the win early July 24, before the lucky ticket holder would have been able to claim their prize. In North Carolina, the winners of drawing games have about six months to come forward, rules show.
