CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A lottery ticket worth $1.2 million was sold in Charlotte, NC Friday, and the winner remains a mystery.
The winner brought a Cash 5 ticket at the Food Lion on Cambridge Commons Drive, matching all five numbers in the numbers.
The odds of matching numbers on all five balls are 1 in 962,598. The winner has 180 days from the drawing to claim the prize.
The $1,226,664 jackpot became the first to exceed $1 million since November. The record Cash 5 jackpot stands at $2.1 million and was won in April 2021.
