A couple from Clover, S.C., Timothy Cerny and Victoria Evans, won Wednesday’s Cash 5 jackpot of $337,328.

They bought their lucky ticket at the Kangaroo Express on South Tryon Street in Charlotte.

Cerny and Evans claimed the prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and split the jackpot to receive $168,664 each. After required state and federal tax withholdings, each took home $118,910.

Cash 5 is a statewide draw game that gives players the chance to win a jackpot every single night. Tickets cost $1 and players can buy tickets at most lottery retailers or through Online Play on the lottery’s website, www.nclottery.com.

Cash 5 jackpots normally start at $50,000, but during the month of August the lottery is starting the jackpot at $100,000 as part of a special $100K Days promotion.

Ticket sales from draw games make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $600 million a year for education. For details on how lottery funds have made a difference in all of North Carolina’s 100 counties, click on the “Impact” section of the lottery’s website.
