Longtime electrician hits jackpot in NC. The lottery prize left him ‘shaking'
A longtime electrician hit the jackpot — and now, he plans to save for retirement. 'I couldn't believe it,' winner Rudolph Ruggiero Jr. told the North Carolina Education Lottery. 'I was shaking.' Ruggiero won $435,915 after stopping at a Harris Teeter grocery store in Greensboro. While there, he tried his luck on the Carolina Cash 5 game, lottery officials wrote in an Aug. 20 news release. It turns out, the man's $1 ticket held a big surprise. It beat 1-in-962,598 odds to match all the numbers picked in the Aug. 13 drawing. 'I thought maybe I won a couple thousand dollars or something,' Ruggiero said. But he didn't realize his ticket was worth much more. He was at a lottery claim center when a worker checked his numbers, revealing the jackpot win. 'The most I've won before this is 50 bucks,' said Ruggiero, a Greensboro resident. The winner, who has worked as an electrician for five decades, kept $312,770 after taxes. In addition to planning for retirement, he hopes to deposit some of his prize money into the bank. It's not the first time someone with a long career has bought a lucky lottery ticket. A North Carolina teacher of more than 30 years wanted to put aside money for retirement after his life-changing win, McClatchy News reported in March.
