Let's jump right into this week's big winners with two Cash Blowout players who collected big prizes. Last Friday, we met a receptionist from Raleigh recently who found out her job of 22 years was being eliminated. Just two days after she found out, she won $4 million. This week, we met a retail manager from Durham who won $1 million playing the same game. There are still two $4 million prizes and six $1 million prizes out there somewhere in the Cash Blowout game.
An Army Veteran from Rutherford County got a "Jumbo" surprise when he scratched off the top prize of $750,000 on a Jumbo Bucks ticket. Watch a short YouTube video of Dan Royal talk about what his good fortune means for his family.
Two players collected Cash 5 jackpot prizes this week. Steve Kidd, from Ramseur in Randolph County, won half of the $566,968 Cash 5 jackpot on Feb. 11. In the Feb. 16 Cash 5 drawing, Thomas Turner III won $200,804. “I said you have to make sure this is not a dream,” Turner said. “We were just elated over it. I’m just blessed. It’s a great blessing.”
We are waiting to meet the ticketholder who won $283,484 in the Feb. 11 Carolina Cash 5 drawing. The ticket was sold at Westview Grocery on West Catawba Avenue in Mount Holly.
Another pair of players won $250,000 each in recent Mega Millions drawings. Watch Michael Bollinger, a police officer and EMT from Maiden in Catawba County, talk about how someone else almost bought his winning ticket. The other $250,000 Mega Millions winner we met this week is Jimmy Broadway of Wake Forest. He won with numbers he first played a year ago but hadn't played since! A Fuquay-Varina player collected a $10,000 in the Dec. 27 Mega Millions drawing this week as well.
Two winning Mega Millions tickets for recent drawings are still "at large." One, a $250,000-winning ticket for the Feb. 10 drawing, was sold at the JP Wilkesboro on U.S. 421 in Wilkesboro. The other ticket, worth $10,000 in the Feb. 14 drawing, was sold at the Cruizers on Hillsborough Road in Durham.
We had eight Powerball winners collect big prizes this week, seven for the Feb. 11 drawing. Players from Timberlake, Charlotte and Hickory won $40,000 each while players from Vale, Maiden, Raleigh and Asheboro each won $10,000 in the Feb. 11 drawing. A Winston-Salem player also claimed a $10,000 prize from the Feb. 1 drawing.
Let's wrap up with some scratch off wins. A pair of $10,000 Jumbo Bucks wins went to players from Raleigh and Gastonia. The Carolina Gold game had three lucky winners this week: a $20,000 winner from Greensboro; and $10,000 winners from Durham and Wilson. A Fayetteville player won $10,000 playing $200,000 a Year for Life, and a player from Florida won a $10,000 Extreme Green prize. Three players won $20,000 instant prizes: an Asheville player on $4 Million Cash Blowout; and a Mount Holly player on Break the Bank. Last but not least, a $50,000 Junior Big Ol' Bucks prize went to a player from Rockingham.
