Winning the lottery is a dream for many, and for one man, it became a reality. A North Carolina man's prediction of winning the Cash 5 lotto jackpot on August 20 came true, awarding him a prize of ₹1,34,85,828.

Cameron Vick, who was sure about his prospects, bought a $1 ticket from the North Carolina Education Lottery's website. His belief paid off when he correctly matched the winning numbers, receiving the substantial payout.

37-year-old Mr Vick told lottery officials that he told a man on his route that he would win the Cash 5 jackpot.

"I told him, 'I'm going to win this one," he recalled.

"It was just a spur of the-moment thing," he said. "I really just decided to play out of the blue."

Vick said that after he won he told one of his friends the big news.

"He hugged me and started crying," Vick said.

According to a release by the North Carolina Education Lottery, "He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters Monday and, after required federal and state tax withholdings, took home $114,941. Vick said he plans to do some home repairs with his winnings."

Cash 5 is one of six lottery games available in North Carolina, with tickets purchasable at retail locations, online through the lottery's website, or via the NC Lottery Official Mobile App. Tuesday’s jackpot stands at $236,000, and the odds of winning the Cash 5 jackpot are 1 in 962,598.
