Terry Coggeshall received the prize on Thursday November 12th at the North Carolina Educational Lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

He said that the lucky numbers brought him and his wife closer to winning several times, but they never thought they would take home the Cash 5 lottery jackpot.

“I was in the furniture store when she was standing there checking the lottery numbers,” said Coggeshall, of Durham. “And she started shouting: “I won, I won!” And I say: “What?!”

The odds of winning were 1 in 962.

Coggeshall, who works as a delivery coordinator, bought a winning ticket at a grocery store on Chapel Hill.

The man said that he and his wife started playing the lottery using the same set of numbers when they lived in Florida.

After the mandatory withholding of federal and state taxes, they will become richer by $ 259.
