A group of friends from Eastern North Carolina plays the lottery together. This week, they won together.
Four of the "Fab Five" are from New Bern, one is from Morehead City. Carol Gunsten, Elizabeth Mesaros, Linda Muller, Claire Wachsmuth, and Joan Zimmer each pitch in $2 a week to play. That $10 bought a Carolina Millions ticket at the Park N Shop store on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in New Bern.
That won the friends of many years many dollars in prize money. $5,000 to be exact, a $1,000 share going to each.
The winners told our claims center staff in Greenville that they're "still looking for the big one." Carolina Millions started with eight top prizes of $1 million and five of them are still in the game.
Please join us in congratulating these lucky ladies. And we hope you have good luck on your next ticket, too.
