A North Carolina woman took skepticism to a new level when she questioned her husband’s lottery win. Bryan Caves of Willow Spring shared that his wife was the first person he called after winning a substantial Cash 5 prize. However, she refused to believe him and drove to the store to verify the win.
Staff at Logan’s Safeway Mini Mart confirmed the win, stating that Caves beat odds of 1 in 962,598 by matching all five numbers in the Nov. 16 drawing, resulting in a jackpot of $120,000. Caves, ecstatic and surprised, admitted that he initially only aimed to win a lesser prize of $500.
After claiming his winnings, Caves received $85,501 after tax withholdings. His plans for the money include paying off his mortgage and spending the rest on home repairs.
Carolina Cash 5 is a rolling jackpot game that offers the potential to win every night, with jackpots starting at $100,000 and increasing until someone wins it all.
