A warehouse worker became the second winner of the $100,000 top prize after unknowingly entering into the Cash 5 Bonus Cash promotion.
Craig Cox, 59, purchased his ticket from Cupboard #2 on Old U.S. 601 in Mount Airy.
“Most of the time when I play Cash 5 I buy five tickets,” Cox said.
“I guess this was a lucky break for me."
Cox’s lucky break occurred Monday, Jan. 16 in the second drawing for the promotion.
Each drawing offers one prize of $100,000 and 40 prizes of $500. Cox arrived at lottery headquarters Monday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $71,250.
Cox said he plans to use his winnings to do some home renovations.
