Steven Bilderback and his wife like to play the popular Draw game CA$H 5 and typically take turns buying tickets. Their normal routine is for one of them to buy tickets on their way home from work and then for Steven to check their numbers the next morning while they have coffee.

One morning while his wife sat at the table drinking coffee and reading, Steven pulled out the previous night’s tickets. As he studied one ticket, he saw that he had matched a couple of numbers. “I saw I had matched two numbers, then three numbers,” he said. “When I saw I had matched all five, I was excited, but I figured there would be other winners for this jackpot, so I wouldn’t win the whole thing.”

But the Mount Vernon resident was the only jackpot winner for that draw and won the entire $130,000 prize.

Steven and his wife plan to use some of their winnings on a couple of home improvement projects and some to help others through their church and charities.
