OLYMPIA — Frank Mungin and his wife Doraine were reading their Sunday paper as usual last weekend when Frank did a double-take.

Frank Mungin and his winning lottery check

"I had my Lottery ticket in my hand and I was checking the winning numbers from the night before. I looked at the ticket, then I looked at the paper, then I looked at the ticket again. Then I shouted to my wife that she had to look, too, because I couldn’t believe my eyes – we had a winner!" says Frank Mungin, recapping how he found out he won $180,000 in the December 29 Hit 5 drawing. "She started screaming, then we yelled for the kids to come see!"

Once they settled down, the Mungins called their parents, who were equally stunned.

"My mom in Florida told me she had to sit down for a moment," said Frank. "We’re all feelin’ really good!"

A former military man who now works a postman, Frank said the family plans to pay off bills and share some of their winnings with family. But he also said they plan to have some fun with the extra funds.

"We may splurge a little bit, too, and that’s A-OK!" he says.

Mungin purchased his winning Hit 5 ticket at Double Lee #6 on NE Andresen Road in Vancouver, Wash.

The winning numbers for the December 29 drawing were 02-05-08-10-23.

Mungin split the $360,000 Cashpot for that drawing with one other winner who has yet to come forward and claim his or her $180,000 prize.
