Deborah Seay said the $186,766 Cash 5 jackpot will not only help her take care of her family but also reach her dream of owning a lake house.
The Kings Mountain resident who worked at the Salvation Army for 20 years and now works as an apartment manager, decided to take a chance on a Cash 5 ticket for the Aug. 3 drawing after her coworkers and tenants shared that they played the game.
On her way home from work, she stopped at the Silver Express and bought a single Quick Pick ticket.The next afternoon as she sat on her porch, Seay cleaned out old receipts from her wallet to find her Cash 5 ticket.
“I pulled out the numbers and I looked and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh,’” she recalled. “So, I called my baby son out on the deck, and I showed him the phone and showed him the ticket.”
Seay claimed her prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, she took home $132,137.
She plans to use her winnings to help care for her family.“My brother passed away last year, so my 85-year-old mother came to live with me,” said Seay. “I adopted my autistic grandchild June the tenth, and my older son has a disability.”
With so many people depending on her, she said she likes knowing she has the money in case something happens.And she hopes to use some of the prize to realize a dream.“I want a house in Denver one day, up on the lake, and eventually I think that I’m gonna get there,” Seay said.
Cash 5 is a statewide draw game that gives players the chance to win a jackpot every single night. Tickets cost $1 and players can buy tickets at most lottery retailers, through Online Play on the lottery’s website, or on the NC Lottery Official Mobile app.
