Randy Williams purchased a Quick Pick ticket for $1 and won on June 14, taking home a $518,774 Cash 5 jackpot.

Weeks later, his mother, Peggy Williams, purchased a $500,000 Double Diamond Cashword scratch-off ticket at a Food Lion in Greenville, North Carolina — and she won, taking home $356,253.

"This is hard to believe," Williams told the North Carolina Education Lotteryin a release. "I went over it about 10 times to make sure I had it correct."
