WARSAW —  A Warsaw man plans to pay off his house and enjoy retirement after hitting the CA$H 5 jackpot.

Rick Calvert, who’s retired from the printing industry, won $1,055,000 before taxes on the CA$H 5 jackpot drawn Nov. 18. Calvert  played his own numbers, instead of opting for a Quick Pick. The winning numbers are 8-19-22-37-39.

Calvert has played CA$H 5 since the game’s inception. His winning numbers are a combination of digits he and his friend, Todd, came up with. They have played those numbers for about a year.

The night of the drawing, Rick had trouble sleeping. He said he woke up and decided to check his ticket. All five numbers matched.

He immediately signed the ticket and went to wake up Todd, who thought something was wrong. The two couldn’t sleep after discovering the win.

In addition to paying off his home mortgage, Calvert plans to use the prize money on his retirement, including a possible trip to Florida.

“It’s going to be amazing to be debt-free,” Calvert said.

The CA$H 5 jackpot was hit again the following night, Nov. 19, with a Fort Wayne winner claiming a $75,000 prize.

CA$H 5 jackpot odds are 1 in 1,221,759. Overall Odds are 1 in 11.
