Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A North Carolina man scored a $120,000 jackpot from a Cash 5 lottery drawing less than four years after winning an even larger sum.

Durham resident Andrew Stock told North Carolina Education Officials he won a few dollars playing digital instants at night and decided to use some of his winnings to buy a $1 Quick Pick ticket for the Jan. 10 Pick 5 drawing.

Stock's ticket turned out to be a $120,000 winner.

"For some reason I just got a feeling that I won," Stock said. "Then I woke up in the morning and saw that I did win."

He previously collected a $141,109 Cash 5 jackpot in August 2021.

"We are just lucky I guess," Stock said. "It's just a numbers game."

Stock said he will use his winnings to invest for retirement.
