Malkhaz Dzhobadze of Charlotte took a chance on a $1 Cash 5 ticket and won a $1,159,355 jackpot Tuesday night.

Dzhobadze bought his lucky ticket from the Food Lion on Idlewild Road in Charlotte. He matched all five numbers to win the jackpot. The odds of matching numbers on all five white balls are 1 in 962,598.

He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Wednesday in Raleigh and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $828,943.

Cash 5 is one of six lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Wednesday’s jackpot is $100,000.

Shocked that someone from the Eastern part of state won!!!!! Unheard of..Western state is totally forgotten. Not sure why I continue to play..NC Lottery
Hi, Betty! If you read the blog or our social media pages long enough, you'll see that we have winners in all different places across North Carolina. We get similar comments from players in every region of the state--some notice that there are many winners in the east. Some say the same thing about the west. Many think that only big cities have big winners. And some mention that a lot of big winners are from small towns. The truth is that it takes a lot of luck to win no matter where you live or play - big city or small town, east or west!
