North Carolina Cash 5 pattern check – Feb 24, 2026

All-even board, high-side bias, and a calm spread 🚀

This Cash 5 draw is basically the statistical equivalent of wearing a tuxedo to a cookout: it’s not illegal, it’s just… loud. Five evens, zero odds. That’s the headline inside the numbers, because most draws tend to look more mixed over time.

The **TrendPick AI Engine** detected a strong parity anomaly (0/5 odd-even) paired with a high-ish sum of 154. In plain English: this wasn’t a “low-ball” night, and it didn’t try to balance itself out with a couple of single-digit anchors.

Low vs high distribution: With 18, 24, 34, 38, and 40, the board leans high. Only one number is under 20, and the finish at 38-40 keeps the top end active. If you’re building future lines, remember: a high-leaning result doesn’t make “low numbers due.” Random is stubborn like that. But high clusters can sometimes appear in streaky bursts, which is why tracking recency can help you avoid overreacting.

Consecutive numbers: No true consecutive pairs (like 38-39). That matters because some players chase consecutive runs; tonight didn’t reward that style. Instead, the spacing is measured—18→24 (+6), 24→34 (+10), 34→38 (+4), 38→40 (+2). You still get tightening at the end, just not a clean adjacent pair.

Repeat behavior across the two lines: The Double Play numbers share two repeats with the main draw: 24 and 40. That overlap is worth noticing if you’re the type who tracks “echo numbers” across related draws. It doesn’t predict the next outcome, but it does spotlight numbers that were “hot” in the same reporting set.

Double Play mini-read: mixed parity, same top-end gravity

Double Play (13-22-24-37-40) brings the odds back to the party: two odds (13, 37) and three evens (22, 24, 40). But it still keeps that upper-lane vibe with 40 showing up again. If you’re comparing boards for strategy, this is a classic split: the main draw goes extreme (all even), while Double Play looks more “normal” while still sharing a couple of anchors.

Prize talk: jackpot amount, prize tiers, and what to do with a winning ticket

What players should verify before driving to a claim center

The feed provides a jackpot amount ($130,000), but it does not confirm whether the top prize was won. So treat this as a results-and-pattern report, not a final payout announcement. Jackpot status: not confirmed in the feed.

If you matched numbers, your next steps are simple: verify your ticket against official results, check the game’s prize tier breakdown, and confirm whether your prize is paid as a one-time payment or has any options (some lotteries talk in terms like cash lump sum for larger games; rules vary). For bigger wins, protect the ticket, sign it if allowed, and use the official claim center guidance so you don’t miss deadlines or documentation requirements.
