Luck has struck a North Carolina family not once, but twice, in the span of just one month, as they emerged victorious in the North Carolina Education Lottery. Randy Williams from Greenville woke up on June 14 to the incredible news that he had won the Cash 5 jackpot, amounting to an impressive $518,774. The Williams family's streak of good fortune continued when Randy's mother, Peggy Williams, secured her own jackpot shortly thereafter, reports Fox. With back-to-back wins, the family is overjoyed and feels truly blessed by their incredible fortune.

On that fateful morning of June 14, Randy Williams woke up early to a life-altering surprise. Upon checking his ticket, he realized that he had won the Cash 5 jackpot. Overwhelmed with excitement, he couldn't contain himself and rushed through the house, hollering in jubilation. Eager to share the joy, he woke up his mother to deliver the astonishing news. Randy had purchased a $1 Quick Pick ticket and utilized the Online Play feature on the lottery's website. He expressed confidence in his victory, describing it as a gut feeling he had harbored for some time.



 

On June 15, Randy Williams and his mother visited the lottery headquarters in Raleigh to claim his grand prize of $369,627. The amount received accounted for the necessary state and federal tax withholdings, allowing him to take home a substantial sum. This visit was just the beginning of their encounters with lottery officials, as fate had more in store for the Williams family.



 

Less than a month later, Peggy Williams, Randy's mother, experienced her own incredible win with the North Carolina Education Lottery. Purchasing a $10 Double Diamond Cashword ticket from the Food Lion on Easy Street in Greenville, she scratched her way to a staggering $500,000 jackpot. Overwhelmed by her good fortune, Peggy recounted how she meticulously double-checked her ticket multiple times to ensure that she had read the numbers correctly. This unexpected windfall left her in awe of her luck.

With both mother and son securing substantial lottery prizes, the Williams family couldn't help but feel incredibly blessed. Randy expressed his gratitude to the lottery board, emphasizing the extraordinary streak of luck they had experienced. Initially, Randy had planned to use his winnings to purchase a new house for his mother. However, after Peggy's recent triumph, they reconsidered and decided to use the newfound funds to renovate her current home. Nonetheless, with the additional prize, the prospect of buying a new house remains a possibility for the Williams family.
