The odds of winning the Ohio Rolling Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 575,757.
The odds of five people winning is astronomical. But that’s exactly what happened when five people matched all five numbers in the Rolling Cash 5 drawing.
According to lottery officials, the five players will divide the winnings totaling $130,000 on Monday, August 26. Each will receive $26,000 before taxes.
The lucky numbers on Monday were 1, 8, 9, 18 and 19. The tickets were sold at five separate lottery retailers in Ohio. Two were sold in Cleveland along with one in Columbus, one in Cincinnati and one in Thornville.
Two of the winners didn’t choose their own numbers. They used the feature in the Rolling Cash 5 to randomly pick numbers for them. The other three winners picked their own numbers.
The Rolling Cash 5 jackpot starts at $100,000 and goes up every day winning numbers are not drawn. This is the second time this year that multiple people have won on the same numbers in the same drawing in the Rolling Cash 5 drawing
Back in July, two tickets both matching all five winning numbers hit on July 20 and the two lucky winners split a $398,000 jackpot. One of the tickets in the July 20 jackpot was sold in Akron and the other in Columbus.
