Meanwhile, North Carolina’s own Cash 5 game was no slouch, featuring a jackpot at $181,000. The winning line for April 15: 1, 13, 35, 36, 42. For players who opted into Double Play, the numbers were 6, 28, 34, 37, 39—a second chance that’s given more than a few players reason to celebrate in the past. The Cash 5 pool always seems to be the go-to for North Carolinians looking for solid odds and serious prizes without the national competition Mega Millions brings.
If quick wins are more your pace, Pick 3 continues to attract those who like their odds short and sweet. The April 15 midday draw saw 0-7-1-3 come up, while the evening numbers rolled in at 5-9-9-7. With two shots daily, Pick 3 players know every day brings a chance for a nice pocketful of cash, whether they’re playing family birthdays, lucky runs, or wild hunches.
How North Carolina Lotteries Work—And What’s Next
Every lottery draw is more than just a string of numbers. In North Carolina, the fun’s balanced with a serious mission: proceeds from these games help fund education all over the state, from new books in elementary schools to scholarships for college-bound students. That means whether you’re cashing in or just along for the ride, the tickets help make a difference locally.
Now, there’s always that real buzz after results hit—everyone double-checks winning numbers, tickets get scrutinized under kitchen lights, and the inevitable question comes up: does this one make me a winner? For those holding tickets, it’s smart to always confirm through official lottery retailers or the NC Lottery’s own website. Sometimes typos or quick glances lead to missed opportunities.
