EDMOND — Edmond resident wins $25,000 playing Oklahoma Cash 5

Karl Stapp of Edmond is counting his cash and heading to Vegas as the lucky winner of $25,000 playing Oklahoma Cash 5.

Stapp purchased his winning ticket at the Valero at 13636 N. Bryant Ave. in Edmond.

“I usually buy at a different store,” he said. “But I had forgotten to get tickets so I went to Valero because it was close.”

He received his winning numbers through Easy Pick and plans on enjoying his vacation in Las Vegas. With a daughter who is a school teacher, Stapp plays the lottery knowing that a portion of its proceeds benefit Oklahoma education.

More than $297 million has been contributed to education since November 2005 with funds directed to common education, career and technical education and to the higher education capital bond issue through the Oklahoma Education Lottery Trust Fund. The Oklahoma Legislature appropriates the OELTF.

Proceeds are used statewide to supplement existing funds for a variety of important education purposes, including teacher compensation and benefits, early childhood development programs, college scholarships, classroom technology and construction of educational facilities.
