Creedmoor Woman Wins $146,094 Cash 5 Jackpot With $1 Online Quick Pick

A $1 Quick Pick ticket purchased through NC Lottery Online Play produced a $146,094 Cash 5 jackpot for a woman from Creedmoor in Granville County, the NC Education Lottery said. The winning ticket matched all five white balls in the Cash 5 drawing held Sept. 19, 2026.

Matching all five white balls carried odds of 1 in 962,598. The result made the online ticket a jackpot winner and connected a small $1 purchase with one of the game’s most difficult winning combinations.

The ticket was not bought at a retail location. The winner purchased it through NC Lottery Online Play, giving the win an entirely online starting point before the prize was later claimed at lottery headquarters.

The winner discovered the result through the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. The app alerted her to the outcome before she completed the process of claiming the prize.

There was also an unusual personal detail surrounding the discovery. Her right hand began itching before she realized that she might have won money, according to the NC Education Lottery’s account of the win.

The itching happened before the winning ticket was confirmed, making it part of the sequence that preceded the jackpot discovery. The lottery identified the winner as a woman from Creedmoor and a resident of Granville County.

She went to lottery headquarters on Thursday to claim the prize. That visit followed the mobile-app discovery and formally connected the winning Cash 5 ticket with the jackpot payment.

The full prize amount was $146,094. After state and federal tax withholdings, the winner received $105,203. The two figures represent the jackpot amount and the payment remaining after the withholdings were applied.

The winner plans to save the winnings. Her stated plan leaves the $105,203 payment set aside rather than assigning it to another purpose.

The drawing date and game details are available through the lottery’s results information, including the latest North Carolina Cash 5 results page.

The NC Education Lottery also reported that Granville County received more than $3.2 million in state funding for educational programs during the prior year. That local funding figure was included with the lottery’s account of the Granville County jackpot.

The event therefore included several distinct stages: a $1 online Quick Pick purchase, a five-white-ball match in the Sept. 19 Cash 5 drawing, discovery through the official mobile app, a headquarters claim and a $105,203 payment after state and federal tax withholdings. For the Creedmoor winner, the next stated step is to save the winnings.
