North Carolina Lottery Daily Deep Dive – Cash 5 patterns (Feb. 14, 2026)

Tonight’s shape: low cluster, then a late jump

Let’s talk about the “story” in 1-7-14-36-37. The front half lives in the low teens, then the draw snaps hard into the upper 30s. That kind of split can feel dramatic when you’re checking your ticket: you either start matching early and get excited… or you miss the opening and hope the back end lines up.

The **TrendPick AI Engine** detected a classic two-zone distribution: three balls under 15, then two balls stacked near the top end. It’s not a perfectly even ladder across the board—it’s more like a clean step pattern.

Consecutive numbers: the “37 sits next to 36” moment 🚀

Yes, there’s a consecutive pair: 36-37. Players love to debate whether consecutive numbers are “rare.” They’re not rare in the way people think—adjacent pairs show up regularly over time. The real takeaway is psychological: when you see a consecutive pair, it often means the rest of the draw has to do more work to create spacing. Tonight, that spacing showed up earlier (1, 7, 14) before the double hit at the end.

Odd/even and what it says about volatility

Odd-heavy by one (3 odd, 2 even) is about as normal as it gets. The draw didn’t go full chaos with 5 odds or 5 evens, and that matters if you’re tracking personal patterns. “Volatile” draws tend to cluster on extremes—either all low numbers, all high numbers, or a weird parity sweep. This one stayed calm on parity while being spicy on spacing.

Double Play: a tight run in the 30s

Now look at Double Play: 4-33-34-35-38. That’s a different vibe entirely. You’ve got a lone low number (4), then a near-straight run of 33-34-35, and a cap at 38. If Cash 5 felt like two zones, Double Play felt like one neighborhood—mostly upper 30s—with a single outlier.

If you bought Double Play, this is the kind of draw that rewards tickets built around a cluster. Of course, clusters are not guarantees—just a pattern that sometimes lands.

How payouts generally work (and why the jackpot headline isn’t the whole story)

Cash 5 payouts are based on how many numbers you match. The jackpot is for matching all five, but most winners live in the lower prize tier levels—smaller hits that still buy dinner, pay a bill, or keep you in the game. Always check the official prize table for the exact amounts for your draw date, because prizes can vary depending on the game’s rules and number of winners.

If you did land a meaningful win, know your options. Depending on the prize size, you may be eligible for a straightforward retailer cash-out, or you may need to visit a claim center. And if you ever hit a top prize, you’ll want to understand how payout timing works and whether any choices apply (for multi-state games it’s often about a cash lump sum vs annuity, though Cash 5-style games are typically paid as a single prize). Keep the ticket signed and secure first—celebrate second.
