A lucky North Carolina woman won nearly $350,000 off a lottery ticket this week — her second six-figure prize in less than a year.
Cathy Noe scored a $346,088 jackpot off a $1 Cash 5 ticket she purchased from the C Co Mini Mart on US 70 in her hometown of Newport, about 90 miles north of Wilmington.
Her ticket matched all five numbers in the Aug. 29 drawing to win the jackpot — a 1 in 962,598 chase, according to lottery officials.
She claimed the prize at the North Carolina Lottery headquarters in Raleigh on Friday.
After federal and state taxes, she took home $247,456 in cash.
Noe had previously won a $100,000 jackpot.
On Tuesday night, a Mega Millions ticketholder won the jaw-dropping $800 million jackpot after purchasing a ticket at a gas station outside Houston, Texas. The winner has not come forward publicly.
