King William, Virginia – A King William resident’s routine trip to a local market turned life-changing after his lottery ticket produced a jackpot win.
James Lipscomb, a frequent visitor of Kent Super Market on King William Road, purchased two Cash 5 with EZ Match tickets on July 24. The second ticket he requested turned out to be the lucky one, earning him a jackpot worth $205,001.
Winning Numbers and Ticket Details
Mr. Lipscomb’s ticket matched all five winning numbers in the July 24 drawing: 5-16-23-26-36. He opted for Easy Pick, letting the computer randomly select his numbers, which ultimately brought him the big win.
Cash 5 with EZ Match jackpots start at a minimum of $200,000 and continue to roll until someone claims the prize. The odds of winning by matching all five numbers stand at 1 in 1,221,759, making Lipscomb’s victory particularly remarkable.

The retired King William man already knows how he will put his winnings to good use. Lipscomb is currently restoring his home and plans to use a portion of his prize money to upgrade some of his equipment. He also expressed his intention to share the remainder with his family and his church.
“I plan to use some of the winnings for my home improvements and give back to my loved ones and my church,” Lipscomb said after confirming his win.
For Lipscomb, the jackpot represents more than just financial relief—it’s a chance to continue meaningful projects and support those closest to him. His story also highlights the unexpected joy that comes with taking a simple chance on a lottery ticket.
