Union County man wins $110,000 jackpot: “I probably woke the neighbors”

After Thomas Kemp of Indian Trail checked his Cash 5 ticket early Thursday morning and realized he won a $110,000 jackpot, he started to celebrate.

“I woke up my wife screaming, ‘Get up, we won,’” Kemp laughed. “I probably woke the neighbors too.”

Kemp bought his lucky $1 ticket from the BP on Idlewild Road in Indian Trail. His ticket matched all five numbers in Wednesday’s drawing to win the jackpot. The odds of matching numbers on all five balls are 1 in 962,598.

“I’m still shaking,” Kemp said. “It was an exciting moment.”

Kemp said he uses family birthdays to pick his Cash 5 numbers.

“I’ve been using them for a long time and it paid off,” he said.

He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Monday in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $78,653.

Kemp said he plans to pay some bills, give some money to his kids, and possibly take a trip to California.

Cash 5 is one of six lottery games in North Carolina where players have the option of buying their tickets at a retail location or with Online Play through the lottery’s website or with the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Monday’s jackpot is $100,000.
