Recent $5,000 wins claimed in Greensboro
The NC Education Lottery reports multiple 2026 Cash 5 and Pick 4 wins of $5,000 claimed in Greensboro. August claims included Sheetz #548 and Orange Express, as shown by the NC Education Lottery in its Greensboro winners list. These records show claimed prizes, not chances to enter.
They help set expectations for payout size and local activity. Keep your ticket and check results by game and draw date. Past Greensboro claims do not affect your odds.
Cash drawings still open this month

Who can enter before you spend time?
Start with age, place, and entry window. If you fall outside one rule, skip that drawing and focus on the other. Use this quick check for each drawing.
It takes less than a minute and prevents wasted entries. No purchase necessary means you can enter without buying, where the rules allow it. Free means no cost, which is different from a chance that may return nothing.
- Confirm age and residency on the sponsor page before entering.
- Confirm start and end dates and drawing dates.
- Confirm what entry requires, such as a code or a ticket.
How to claim lottery winnings without delay
Sign the back of your ticket right away. The NC Education Lottery allows 180 days to claim draw games and 90 days for scratch-offs. Prizes of $600 or more need a claim form, photo ID, and Social Security card, per the NC Education Lottery Claim Prizes page.
Use these steps to avoid a late claim. Keep copies of each item you submit. Keep the signed ticket in a safe place until you file the claim.
File early so a missed deadline does not erase a win.
- Sign the ticket back after purchase.
- Check game type for the 180-day or 90-day deadline.
- Gather the claim form, photo ID, and Social Security card for $600 or more.
