Bruce Morgan of Clayton recalled the moment he realized he netted a $138,239 Cash 5 jackpot.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI was making a delivery and I pulled over to check my numbers and I was like, \u2018Wait a minute, what am I seeing,\u2019\u201d the truck driver told the North Carolina Education Lottery.<\/p>\n

Morgan bought an online ticket in the May 18 drawing and matched all five numbers, beating odds of 1 in 962,598<\/a><\/b> to snag the game\u2019s top prize, officials said.<\/p>\n

The winning numbers were 29-32-36-40-42.<\/b><\/p>\n

He claimed his prize at lottery headquarters on Friday, June 12, and took home $99,546 after taxes.<\/p>\n

Morgan said he already has plans for his winnings, including paying a few bills.<\/p>\n
