Edward Bell of Durham is celebrating after he won half of a $244,472 Cash 5 jackpot.  

Bell bought the $1 Quick Pick ticket at the Food Lion on North Roxboro Street in Durham.

He beat odds of one in 749,398 to win the Jan. 14 drawing.

He claimed his prize Monday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. His half of the jackpot is $122,236. After required state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $84,955.

Norman Street of Fayetteville won the other half of the jackpot. He bought his lucky ticket at the Fast Trip on Yadkin Road in Fayetteville.

Ticket sales from draw games like Cash 5 make it possible for the lottery to raise more than $600 million dollars a year for education.

Congratulations!
