A woman from the town of Maxton, North Carolina, won a prize of $756,362 dollars, after buying a lottery ticket. Now, she plans to buy her dream house, as revealed by the state Education Lottery.
“I can finally get my dream house. Now I can have something to call my own,” said winner Linda McCain.
McCain, aged 54, said that he first checked the numbers late at night after the August 18 drawing, but he didn’t believe his eyes, so he went to the kitchen to look for more light to see better.
“When I realized, I started to scream. I felt so good I couldn’t even go back to sleep,” McCain said.
The lucky woman bought her ticket at the Short Stop Mart on West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, in the population of Maxton.
“I was pinching everyone to make sure it was real. My sister told me, ‘You deserve it,'” McCain said.
The woman said that each number she picked playing on her Quick Pick Cash 5 game lottery ticket had a special meaning for her.
“I guess it was my time. This is unbelievable,” the player added.
After required state and federal tax withholdings, McCain took home $537, 093.
