Greenville couple recently celebrated husband's big jackpot winning
When Kim Cantu of Greenville first learned that he won some money playing Cash 5, he had no idea that he just won a $504,104 jackpot, the state N.C. Education Lottery reported.
“The clerk just told me he couldn’t cash the ticket in the store because it was too large to pay out,” Cantu said.
“I thought it was maybe $500.” After leaving the store, Cantu went home and checked his numbers online, a Lottery news release said.
“I was actually shocked when I saw the amount,” he said. He immediately ran to tell his wife the good news. “We were both so excited,” Cantu said.
“We were going around the house doing high-fives.” Cantu, a 65-year-old former store manager, bought his lucky $1 Cash 5 ticket for the Feb. 15 drawing from the Speedway on Charles Boulevard in Greenville.
