The importance of sharing
William Bailey, residing in Weddington, NC, won $167,849 in the Cash 5 lottery and used his lottery jackpot winnings to ensure people in need had a Thanksgiving meal. Along with his wife Hazel, they used a portion of their winnings to provide Thanksgiving dinners to families in need, taking three of their 16 grandchildren along for the distribution. The exact number of dinners distributed is unknown, but they aimed for up to 20 turkeys. The Baileys also planned to allocate the funds to support their family, church, savings, and their grandchildren’s college education.
