North Carolina Man Wins $160,756 Cash 5 Jackpot After Bold Prediction

A moment of confidence led Cameron Vick, a 37-year UPS driver from Greensboro, North Carolina, to win an impressive $160,756 Cash 5 jackpot, the NC Lottery reported. Before buying his $1 Cash 5 ticket using Online Play for the August 20 drawing, Vick had boldly told a man on his delivery route, "I’m going to win this one."

Vick described his decision to purchase the ticket as spontaneous. "It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing," he said. "I just decided to play out of the blue."

His prediction came true later that night, and Vick immediately shared the exciting news with a friend, who hugged him and started crying. Vick claimed his prize at the lottery headquarters on Monday, taking home $114,941 after federal and state tax withholdings.

Vick plans to use his winnings for home repairs. Players in North Carolina can purchase Cash 5 tickets at retail locations or through Online Play via the lottery’s website or the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Currently, Tuesday’s jackpot stands at $236,000, with the odds of winning a Cash 5 jackpot at 1 in 962,598
