Daily Do Good: Friends Honor 30-Year Pact To Split Lottery Winnings

Lifelong friends honor their 30-year pact to split any big lottery winnings with each other. Around three decades ago, Scott Edwards and Perry Charles made a deal with one another: if either of them ever hit it big in the lottery, they’d share the prize with the other one, regardless of who bought the ticket.

So when Charles won over $360-thousand off a North Carolina lottery $5 Fast Play jackpot ticket, his first call was to his lifelong friend to let him know about their good fortune. “I was lost for words,” Edwards says. “I was kind of in shock too because to me that’s a lot of money to win. And I know that anything he says is just the truth. So, I knew when he told me that he wasn’t pulling my leg.”

The two men went to the North Carolina Lottery headquarters to pick up their winnings and each took home over $128-thousand after local and federal taxes. Both men say they plan to pay some bills with their newfound cash.
