N.C. woman wins $265,152 lottery prize using her grandkids' ages
Published in Weird News
(UPI) A North Carolina grandmother scored a $265,152 lottery jackpot by using her grandchildren's ages in a Cash 5 drawing.
Glenda Honeycutt of Monroe told North Carolina Education Lottery officials she always uses the same strategy for playing Cash 5.
"I always play my grandchildren's ages," Honeycutt said. I play them every night.
Honeycutt bought a $1 ticket for the Jan. 14 drawing at the Food Lion store on West Roosevelt Boulevard in Monroe. Her ticket matched all five numbers in the drawing.
"Three previous times I matched four of the five balls on Cash 5," she said.
Honeycutt said she was stunned when she saw the results the morning after the drawing.
"It took a while for it to sink in," she said. It was a shock.
The winner said her prize money will go toward making some home repairs.
