A first-time lottery player has won $218,218 after buying a ticket in Pitt County.
Deloris Roberson had never played the lottery before, but on Saturday she was Christmas shopping when she noticed the same numbers kept appearing on her sales slips. The Windsor woman decided to stop at the Country Mart on Highway 11 North in Bethel where she played those numbers for "Carolina Cash 5".
Roberson says she plans to put part of her winnings in savings, help her family and church and then next summer go on vacation.

Save your money and dont gamble the lottery you say?? Oh I think you meant to say invest your money on Walstreet and lose it to the chronies up there so they can gamble your money away and buy themselves more Yachts!! I don't think so

Hi Me -- I buy & sell stocks & mutual funds all the time on my computer. Now with some education you can get online. You do not need a Stock Broker to help you. You can open you own brokerage account. Even with your own bank. You can do it all on your own like me. I profit in the market every year even in this economy. Their is always a bull in a bear market. For people who can not invest on there own. There really are some honest Mutual Fund Companies who will help you with your investments. Shop around for the one you trust. An IRA or a 401K plan vs Lottery? Your 15K loss in your IRA will come back in time. Right now you are dollar cost averaging dividends at a very low price which is great. Hold on Me your IRA will rebound. A safe is worthless if you have nothing to put in it?
