The player bought a Carolina Cash 5 game ticket that matched all the numbers picked in the March 12 drawing, making it worth six figures, results show.

The lucky $605,124 ticket was sold online to a player in Charlotte, the N.C. Education Lottery wrote on its website and in an email to McClatchy News.
Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game that offers tickets starting at $1. To score the jackpot prize, a person’s ticket must match the five numbers picked in a drawing.
