MEBANE, N.C. — An Alamance County man won big after buying a $1 lottery ticket from a Quickmart in Mebane.
Benny Murphy of Mebane had just recently purchased a new home. A joke was made to him that if he ever won the lottery, he could have lower payments.
This exact scenario came true when he found out he'd won the NC Education Lottery's $439,527Cash 5 win. He claimed his prize on Monday at the company's headquarters in Raleigh.
After federal and state tax withholdings, Murphy walked away with $314,262. He says he plans to go on a fishing trip, pay off his house and save some of the money.
