CARY MAN TO PAY DOWN MORTGAGE WITH $193,833 CASH 5 WIN
January 18, 2012
Amitkumar Kharva, a resident of Cary, plans to use the $193,833 prize he won playing Carolina Cash 5 to pay down his mortgage, pay bills and save for the future.
Kharva matched all five numbers in the Jan. 11 drawing to win the game’s jackpot.
“I didn’t check my tickets for a few days,” Kharva said. “The clerk at the store said I had to claim in Raleigh, but I had no idea how much I had won. I went home and checked online and I couldn’t believe it. My heart was beating faster. I never thought I’d win this kind of money. It’s like a dream.”
Kharva, who said he previously won $5,000 playing Carolina Pick 4, received a check for $131,806 after taxes were withheld. He purchased his winning ticket at the Kroger on U.S. 64 in Apex.
