North Carolina Cash 5 results (main draw + Double Play)

First, the main event—because your wallet asked nicely:

Cash 5 winning numbers:
12202735

Cash 5 Double Play:
413233138

That main line opens with a cheeky 1-2—two consecutive numbers that always make players feel like the universe is winking at them… right before reminding everyone about the odds. Still, if you were holding a lucky ticket with all five, you’d be the one doing the winking on the way to the claim center.

North Carolina Cash 5 patterns & number distribution – Feb 4, 2026

If you like your lottery analysis the way you like your budgeting—tight, clear, and slightly judgmental—here’s what Wednesday’s Cash 5 draw told us.

Low vs. high numbers: a split personality draw

The line 1-2-20-27-35 is basically two different moods stapled together. The first pair (1 and 2) lives in the “pocket change” part of the number line, while 27 and 35 are already thinking about retirement accounts. With a range of 34, the draw covered a lot of real estate—good for variety, bad for anyone hoping the balls would camp out in one neighborhood.

On the distribution front, you get:

• Low (1–9): 1, 2
• Mid (10–29): 20, 27
• High (30–39): 35

That’s a pretty classic spread: a couple low anchors, two mids, and a high capstone. If your strategy depends on “all lows” or “all highs,” this draw politely declined.

Consecutive numbers: the 1-2 handshake

Consecutive pairs (like 1-2) show up often enough to feel spooky, but not often enough to be “predictable.” They’re the lottery’s version of a coupon: exciting to spot, not a guarantee you’re checking out with a full cart of winnings.

The **TrendPick AI Engine** detected a “front-loaded cluster” today—two adjacent low numbers followed by evenly spaced steps upward. Translation: the sequence starts tight, then opens up fast, which can make quick-pick players feel vindicated and pattern-pickers feel personally targeted.

Odd/even mix: respectably normal (sorry, chaos fans)

Wednesday’s main draw landed at 3 odd and 2 even, which sits in the “nothing to see here” category. If you’re building plays around parity, this is the sort of standard split that shows up a lot—no wild all-odd stampede, no all-even conspiracy.

Sum check: right down the middle

The total of the five winning numbers was 85. That’s a nicely balanced sum—neither a bargain-basement total nor an eye-watering high. In other words, the draw didn’t lean aggressively toward one end of the spectrum, which is exactly what you’d expect from a game designed to keep everyone humble.

Payouts & prize tiers: what happens if you matched something

Cash 5 is built around prize tiers—meaning you don’t need perfection to get paid, but perfection is where the headlines live. Exact payouts vary by tier and jackpot conditions, and in some cases prizes may be shared if multiple winners hit the top match. If you matched all five, you’re in “drop everything and verify your ticket” territory; if you hit a lower tier, you’ve still got a reason to smile (and maybe fund the next play without raiding the snack budget).

One practical note: prizes above certain thresholds typically require an in-person visit to a claim center, while smaller wins can often be handled at retailers. If you’re chasing the top prize, expect the usual identity checks and paperwork—because nothing says “congratulations” like forms.

Play smarter next draw: tools, timing, and a reality check

Cash 5 drawings are nightly, so the turnaround is quick—great for momentum, dangerous for impulse spending.

Finally, a gentle reminder dressed as financial wisdom: choosing numbers is fun, but the odds don’t care about your favorite birthday, your dog’s name, or that “feeling” you had at lunch. Set a limit, enjoy the game, and if lightning strikes—take the cash lump sum vs. annuity decision seriously. That’s one jackpot choice where math actually pays.
