The Lottery says Stephens' latest win came in the August 3 drawing. He first hit the Cash 5 jackpot in 1997, and then won for the second time in April 2007. Each time he matched all five numbers and walked away with the $100,000 top prize.
Stephens declined to be interviewed. But the Lottery says he told Lottery officials that he fell out of his chair when he learned he had won the jackpot again.
For his most recent win, Mr. Stephens selected his own numbers. He bought the winning ticket at Lynnhaven Valero, located at 801 South Lynnhaven Road in Virginia Beach. The winning numbers for that drawing were 4-8-24-28-33.
Cash 5 drawings are held daily at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chances of winning the $100,000 top prize are 1 in 278,256!
Ralph Stephens is one lucky guy. Enjoy the prize you lucky fella!
